Best week this season for blue whiting from west of Ireland; more than 60.000 MT. More quiet for the capelin in the Barents Sea and moderate also when it comes to Atlanto Scandic herring at the North-western coast.
High activity for the blue whiting and still some activity for the Atlanto Scandic herring at the west coast of Norway. The capelin fishery at Iceland is over, while the capelin in the Barents Sea is fairly absent so far.
Changes in prices is because of the relationship between canola oil and fish oil in Peru changed a bit. The new minimum prices for raw material for fishmeal and oil use comes from Monday, February 16, 2015
Another good week for the Atlanto Scandic herring and herring of good size has started migrating into the fjords west of Tromsø. More even activity in the south.
Finally the blue whiting appeared far west. For capelin at Iceland it is nearly over - and the first vessel is in operation in the Barents Sea. Several deliveries of mackerel from foreign vessels last week.
We've had a good week of capelin fisheries bu Iceland but no vessel have found blue whiting west of Ireland thus far. The fishery for Atlanto Scandic Herring has moved south, we've had a decent week of foreign mackerel being landed in Norway and no vessels have so far gone north to look for capelin in the Barents Sea.
