A Devon fishing market group has seen its most profitable year, despite fears the industry would suffer as a result of Brexit, local industry bosses say.

More than £43.6m worth of fish was landed at Brixham in 2021, Brixham Trawler Agents reported, saying it was record-breaking.

The fishing organisation, which began in 2011, takes on market administration work so vessels do not have to.

It said vessels from across England and Wales were now bringing catches to it.

In 2020, £35.8m of fish was landed in Brixham, and £39.2m in 2019.

The closest year to the 2021 total was 2017, with £40.3m worth of fish landed, the agents said.
