The monthly contraction was driven by a 74% slump in pelagic catches, though accumulated volume over the last twelve months maintains an 8% growth.

REYKJAVÍK — Landings volume by the Icelandic fishing fleet fell to nearly 42,000 tonnes during July 2026, representing a 51% contraction compared to the same month of the previous year, according to official figures released by the statistical authority Statistics Iceland.

The decline observed in the seventh month of the year was concentrated in the pelagic species segment. Unloadings for this group reached approximately 15,000 tonnes, a figure that marks a year-on-year reduction of 74%. In contrast, demersal fisheries exhibited substantially more stable behavior, accumulating nearly 25,000 tonnes with a moderate drop of 2%.

The short-term result of July 2026 contrasts significantly with the macro trajectory of the extractive sector in the interannual period. Between August 2025 and July 2026, total catches in Iceland reached 1.062 million tonnes, a figure exceeding the volume recorded in the equivalent prior twelve-month period by 8%.

The positive performance of the annual aggregate fundamentally responds to the momentum of pelagic resources, whose global volume grew by 20%, decisively supported by capelin (Mallotus villosus) catches. Conversely, demersal species landings retreated by 6% in the twelve-month balance, while the flatfish group experienced a decline of 13%.

The divergence between the monthly performance of July and the annual cycle trend highlights the need to analyze short-term monthly results separately from the fleet's overall performance. Nevertheless, the sharp summer deceleration raises questions within the industry regarding the timing of fishing campaigns, raw material availability, and supply for processing plants for seafood products.

Representatives from Statistics Iceland explained that the detailed publication broken down by species, economic values, and destinations will help clarify the specific factors behind the reduced activity in July 2026 and evaluate the level of impact across the Icelandic seafood value chain.

7月のアイスランド漁獲揚陸量が前年同月比51%減少

浮魚類の捕獲量が74%急減したことで月間数値は縮小したものの、過去12ヶ月の累計水揚げ量は8%の増加を維持。

レイキャビクアイスランド統計局(Statistics Iceland)が発表した公式統計によると、2026年7月におけるアイスランド漁船団の水揚げ量は前年同月比51%減となる約4,2000トンに落ち込みました。

当月に見られた減少は主に浮魚類(ペラジック)区分に集中しました。同区分の水揚げ量は約1,5000トンにとどまり、前年同月比で74%の大幅減となりました。一方で、底魚類(デマーサル)漁業は比較的安定した動きを見せ、2%の緩やかな減少にとどまる約2,5000トンを記録しました。

2026年7月の短期的な結果は、過去1年間の漁業セクターにおける巨視的な推移とは大きく対照的です。2025年8月から2026年7月までの過去12ヶ月間におけるアイスランドの総水揚げ量は106万2,000トンに達し、前年同期の12ヶ月間の成績を8%上回りました。

年間累計の堅調な実績は、主にカラフトシシャモ(Mallotus villosus)の捕獲量に支えられ、全体で20%増加した浮魚資源の好調によるものです。対照的に、底魚類の水揚げ量は過去12ヶ月間の合計で6%減少となり、ヒラメ・カレイ類(フラットフィッシュ)は13%の減少となりました。

7月の単月実績と年間サイクルの傾向との乖離は、月間の短期的な結果と船団全体の総合的なパフォーマンスを区別して分析する必要性を示しています。しかしながら、夏季における急激な減速は、漁期のスケジュール、原料の供給状況、および水産物加工工場への原料供給に関して業界内で懸念を生じさせています。

アイスランド統計局は、魚種別、経済価値別、および出荷先別の詳細な内訳の公開により、2026年7月の活動減退の説明となる具体的要因が明確になり、アイスランドの水産バリューチェーン全体への影響度が評価できるようになると説明しています。

2026年7月冰岛渔业卸货量同比下降51%

远洋鱼类捕捞量暴跌74%导致当月数据缩减,但过去12个月的累计卸货量仍保持8%的增长。

雷克雅未克 — 根据冰岛国家统计局Statistics Iceland)发布的官方数据,2026年7月****冰岛渔船队的卸货量降至近4.2万吨,与去年同期相比收缩了51%

本月观察到的下降主要集中在远洋鱼类(pelagic)领域。该类别的卸货量仅约为1.5万吨,同比大幅减少了74%。相比之下,底层鱼类(demersal)捕捞业表现相对稳定,总量接近2.5万吨,仅出现2%的温和回落。

2026年7月的短期数据与过去一年该捕捞业的宏观走势形成鲜明对比。在2025年8月2026年7月12个月期间,冰岛的总捕捞卸货量达到了106.2万吨,比前一个12个月循环周期增加了8%

年度累计数据的增长主要得益于远洋资源的推动,其总量增长了20%,其中毛鳞鱼(Mallotus villosus)的捕捞贡献尤为关键。相反,底层鱼类的卸货量在12个月的统计中下降了6%,而鲽鲆类(flatfish)则下降了13%

7月单月表现与年度周期趋势之间的背离,表明有必要将月度短期结果与船队的总体表现分开分析。然而,夏季的剧烈放缓引发了行业内部对作业季日程安排、原料供应以及水产品加工厂原料保障的关注。

冰岛国家统计局指出,随后公布按物种、经济价值和去向细分的详细数据,将有助于查明2026年7月产量下滑的具体原因,并评估对冰岛水产价值链的影响程度。
