The figures in there give an idea of how the quota system is warped against UK fishermen. I'm not saying the UK government wouldn't come up with a similar quota system that would allow big business to control matters.
I think it's hard to argue that British fisherman didn't get a rough deal when the UK signed away control of it's own fishing waters when it joined the EEC.Comment

There is a lot of myths surrounding fishing. If the UK leaves without a deal, the fishing industry won't be revived, it'll just die.I'm alright JackComment

then I don't think the UK fishermen will struggle to sell their fish. [ Not in linked article but it does say "They also say the UK could sell quotas to other countries, if the UK was unable to harvest all of its own stock." but that is not what you say.]

The article does say "An example of what British fishers think is an unfair system is that France has 84% of the quota for cod in the English Channel, compared to the UK's tiny 9%." But it does not explain the fact that in a no deal France will retain their part of the Channel which happens to have the most Cod.
The article also says European fishers take up to 173 times more herring from UK waters than Brits do, however, herring is not a popular fish in the UK
The think tank says only 0.1% of gross value added (GVA) in the UK economy comes from the catching sector.
Despite fishing being such a big issue in the EU referendum, just 0.04% of the UK's jobs in 2018 were in the fishing sector - about 12,000. This is no where near enough to harvest all the fish stocks currently caught in UK waters."A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment
