Prices poor
The beginning of the week was quieter than usual at the markets.
Prices were equally poor and although better for haddock, cod and megrim were disappointing.
A representative from LHD said more fish was expected at the end of the week due to a poor forecast.
On the pelagic side, the Antarctic and the Adenia landed their fish in Denmark.
