The Rockall Bank supports large and productive stocks of fish. Some of the fish stocks are thought to be endemic to the bank, e.g. haddock, while others, e.g. saithe, are thought to migrate to the bank from elsewhere. There are profitable bottom trawl fisheries targeting mainly squid, haddock and monkfish. To a lesser extent, there are deep-water trawl and long-line fisheries. Pelagic fisheries for blue whiting operate over the western slope of the bank.

Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) data show that fishing activity potentially affects much of the Rockall Bank area and current fisheries control measures on Rockall Bank have focused mainly on the protection of corals and there are now extensive closed areas at Rockall enforced by North-East Atlantic Fisheries Commission. There are further two areas that are designated as special areas of conservation under the EU Habitats Directive.
