France has threatened Britain with retaliation over what a minister called the unacceptable allocation of fishing licences, reports BBC News.
French minister Annick Girardin called the rejection of licence bids from 75 French fishing vessels a kick in the teeth.
The row over post-Brexit fishing rights centres on waters around the Channel Island of Jersey, a Crown dependency.
The UK said it would consider further evidence to support remaining bids for fishing rights.
French government spokesman Gabriel Attal warned that Paris could seek "retaliatory measures" through the EU amid renewed tensions over post-Brexit fishing rights.
In the latest round of applications, the UK granted 12 licences from 47 bids for smaller vessels to fish in its territorial waters.
Meanwhile, Jersey refused licences to 75 French fishing boats.
Mr Attal said the decisions were "totally unacceptable and inadmissible because they are decisions that contravene the agreement that was signed within the Brexit framework".
He said an "enormous amount of work has been done" to send the requested information in order to obtain fishing licences, adding: "We have given all the justifications, we have taken all the measures, so that the agreement could be respected".
