Its the death rate % I was talking about.

According to the industry's trade body, Seafish, there are 126 deaths per 100,000 fishermen each year; "many times higher" than any other sector of UK industry

I don't get where the BBC gets those numbers, unless there are only like 5000 fishermen in the UK which would somehow make the 126 deaths per 100,000 sound plausible.

Also please note the the vast majority of injuries and fatalities seems to be in farming rather than fishing those statistics are unified but the causes are broken down.

The individual deaths and causes are also listed http://www.hse.gov.uk/foi/fatalities/2016-17.htm I couldn't find one that related directly to fishing.

Don't get me wrong fishing is dangerous but I haven't seen anything that would indicate that it's one of the most dangerous jobs in the UK.

I don't have a horse in this race, but fyi, I found some fishing-related deaths here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/marine-accident-i...

Thanks for that source, not sure why HSE doesn't list those maybe because they are still under investigation.

Its from the fishing industry its self as the BBC article says.

"fishing industry" doesn't mean much, all job related deaths are recorded by the HSE in the UK (this is equivalent to OSHA in the US), which is why I asked for the actual statistics.
