The fishing industry in Wales is a sector of the Welsh economy.
Fisherman in Monmouthshire have fished using lave nets in the Severn Estuary since the 17th-century. [1]
Commercial fishing in Wales employs approximately 600 people full-time and is valued at 39,000,000 pounds sterling. [2] 92% of Welsh fishing vessels are designated small-scale. [α] [3]
