about 75 percent of Denmark 's fishing capabilities could be reallocated to Britain , according to a the Danish Government report commissioned by Copenhagen University . Between 2012 and 2016 , the Danish have fished British waters to an estimated value of £ $109-156 million m to £119m. The fishing industry was at the heart of the Vote Leave campaign. The Danish fishing lobby has strong clout in Copenhagen and could press the government to adopt a tough stance in Britain’s negotiations with the EU on a post-Brexit trade deal. Although Britain has said it plans to allow foreign ships into its waters, it reserves the right to decide the extent, and is likely to use this as leverage in upcoming negotiations.
