In 2010, the total landings were 66,500tonnes, of which UK fishers landed a significant part (58.1\%). The Nephrops fishery is also important for countries such as Ireland (11.7\% of the total) and Sweden (1.9\%) where it is of regional importance. Some are also taken in the Mediterranean, where Italian, Spanish and Greek fishers together take approximately 7\% of the total landing. More than 95\% of Nephrops are taken using single- or multi-rig trawlers targeting Nephrops or in mixed species fisheries.
