Fishermen in Northern Ireland have written to the prime minister insisting they get a fair share of additional UK quotas secured by Brexit.
Two organisations representing hundreds of fishing vessels came together to make the joint appeal.
They want extra fish shared out under existing UK rules on how they are distributed among the devolved nations.
They said that other approaches being considered would discriminate against the fleet in Northern Ireland.
The Northern Ireland Fishermen's Federation (NIFF) said it currently held around 8.4% of the UK's quota.
The NIFF said officials in Whitehall seemed to believe that if Northern Ireland got most of the additional fish in the Irish Sea that would be sufficient.
