The course of the fisheries per week 36 - 2024

Mackerel:
It has been another good week of mackerel fishing. Over 30,000 tons of mackerel have been reported through Sildelaget in the past week, with the best day being Friday, when well over 9,000 tons were reported. The fishing conditions have been decent on the field over the past week, which is reflected in the reports.

Norwegian fishermen have now caught 44% or 104,380 tons of this year's mackerel quota of 237,907 tons. Great job.

We hope for continued good conditions at sea so that the fishermen can keep up the fantastic work without major weather disruptions.

During the weekend, the fishing has slowed down, and there are reports of heavy fog on the field, making it difficult to find good mackerel concentrations.

A good amount of mackerel has also been reported from Faroese boats in the Norwegian zone. The Faroese vessels have now caught 31% or 11,036 tons of their zone access of 35,491 tons.

There has also been some pen and limited direct fishing for mackerel along the coast from Ålesund to Skude.

North Sea Herring:
Nearly 10,000 tons of North Sea herring have been delivered to Norwegian facilities this week. Around 7,500 tons are from foreign vessels fishing in the EU zone.

Coastal Sprat:
This fishery opened this week, and Hosøybuen has reported 35 tons from the Hardangerfjord.

Ocean Sprat:
A foreign vessel has delivered over 1,100 tons in Egersund.

Industrial Fishing:

Vessels from the industrial fleet have been active in both the northern and southern North Sea. This has resulted in 270 tons of Norway pout, 947 tons of blue whiting, 200 tons of horse mackerel, and 126 tons of argentines.
