These charts provide annual and monthly fisheries statistics at a fine spatial scale for the period 1913-81 (excluding both World Wars). More specifically, they show the annual and monthly landings and catch rates per fish species, and the fishing effort for various components of the British commercial fishing fleet. These values are indicated separately for each rectangle of 1° longitude by 30' latitude (equivalent to International Council for the Exploration of the Sea [ICES] rectangles) as well as for the entire area charted (generally equivalent to ICES fishing areas).

The focus is on demersal fisheries, with only a small proportion of charts devoted to pelagic fisheries. Combined, this set of 'Statistical Charts' provides consistent, standardised data over a considerable time-span, for Britain's former and current fishing grounds, covering an important portion of the fishing history of this nation.
