IN BRIEF - Asking the fleet to exercise caution with herring
(NORWAY, 10/15/2024)
Too high admixture of North Sea herring below the minimum target in the south-eastern part of the North Sea.
Controls have recently shown that the mixing of North Sea herring below the minimum size in catches from the south-eastern part of the North Sea in the Norwegian zone is far too high. The Directorate of Fisheries and the Coast Guard therefore encourage the fleet to exercise great caution when fishing.
Controls have revealed that the mixture has been up to 70% of herring below the minimum size. Large harvests of North Sea herring below the minimum size will weaken the resource base and thus also the food base for the fishermen in the long term.
