<p>The UK’s uptake of Skates and Rays stocks is shown in the tables below. Information
is based on figures held by the Marine Management Organisation, and all quota and
catch figures are given in tonnes. Closing quota may be different from the UK’s opening
quota allocation due to the effect of in year swaps or quota banked or borrowed during
the previous year. Skates and Rays quota in the areas shown in Tables 2 and 3 were
only introduced in 2009.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td
