Compiled by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, it serves as a vital record of the industry's performance and trends. The data collected aims to inform policy, track economic activity, and provide a basis for future analysis and planning within the fisheries domain.

As a government statistical publication, 'Sea Fisheries Statistical Tables 1987' is regarded as an authoritative and essential resource for researchers, policymakers, and industry professionals. Its value lies in the detailed and systematically collected data it provides, offering a factual snapshot of the UK's fishing industry at a specific point in time.
