The Aberdeen Fish Producer's Organisation (AFPO) was set up on the 10th October 1973 and as such is the oldest Producer Organisation in Scotland.
It currently has 19 member vessels from Fife to Buckie and focuses predominantly on whitefish species with some Nephrops Landings. The main grounds our vessels fish are in the North sea with some activity on the West of Scotland. The annual value of the catch by member vessels is around £10 million pounds. The vessels in membership are mainly of the pair seine and twin rig type. These vessels range in size from 12m to 30m. AFPO sits on the board of Seafood Scotland and also administers the Aberdeen Fish Salesmen's Association and has input into many other bodies both nationally and locally.
