The pelagic fishery has had a positive start to 2025, with nvg herring and mackerel being the biggest contributors so far.

Nvg herring:

It was another good week for nvg herring in the north and the registration record shows 21,937 tonnes registered. Although the herring has begun to gradually withdraw from the fjord, fishing has continued in Kvænangen and north of Arnøya.

26 percent of this year's nvg herring quota has now been fished, 67,885 tonnes have been fished out of a total of 257,871 tonnes, which is this year's Norwegian quota.

The distribution per vessel group looks like this:

  • Purse seine 11,015 tonnes
  • Trawl 645 tonnes
  • Coastal 7,303 tonnes

An additional 213 tonnes have been taken from shore in Northern Norway.

Mackerel:

9,651 tonnes of mackerel have been landed in Norway from nine foreign boats. The sizes of the mackerel have varied from 320 grams to 480, and the fishing has taken place west of Shetland.

Blue whiting:

1,260 tonnes of blue whiting have also been reported this week, from Zenit. The catch was taken approx. 1000 kilometres west of Ireland in the EU zone and went to human consumption.

In recent years, there have been significant differences in the turnover of blue whiting and the proportion that has gone to human consumption. Nevertheless, the stock and fishing have been at their peak in recent years due to the strong year classes 2020 and 2021, but a decline is expected after 2025 due to weaker recruitment.

Coastal sprat:

When it comes to coastal sprat, Spjæringen has caught 37 tonnes in the Oslofjord and Vestervik has caught 50 tonnes in the Sognefjord.

Sea sprat:

A foreign boat has delivered 1815 tons of sea sprat all the way from the Baltic Sea.

North Sea herring:

We also had a foreign boat with 430 tons of North Sea herring last week.

Total turnover as of 20 January at 9 am is NOK 1.5 billion, and there is mainly a good supply of fish which leads to increased quantity and not least good prices for herring for consumption and for mackerel, which is the background for the turnover we are seeing now.

In other words, 2025 is well underway, and more activity is expected both in the blue whiting fields, the mackerel fields and in Northern Norway for the NVG herring in the coming week. It must also be mentioned that it has been a demanding week in terms of weather, but our skilled fishermen still find weather windows to deliver the goods.
