Another successful week for the blue whiting and close to 55.700 MT registered. Also a few catches of penned-in horse mackerel during week 14 - the sales department reports.
Blue whiting
Last week was
again giving good results for the blue whiting; close to 55.700 MT
were registered. The main part has of course been sold for
meal&oil purposes, while close to 3.000 MT were landed for
consumption purposes in Killybegs. The catching has been
performed over an extended area from the northern edge of Porcupine
to St. Kilda. Catches have been registered in an area from grid
48-30/31 starting at 54° N, 12-14° W in the south to grid 43-46
just west of St. Kilda. During the last part of the week all
catches were reported from St. Kilda.
But good catches have the
drawback of pushing the limits of capacity at the buyer's plants
both in Norway and Denmark. All capacity was thus utilised and the
consequence for the vessels is waiting time, - as much as 96 hrs.
at the most.
The prices have tended
down following the fact that normally blue whiting will get lower
prices in April compared to March. The week's average was NOK 1,44
being 3 øre less than the foregoing week. For consumption the
prices varied from NOK 1,64 to 1,78 with an average at NOK 1,72.
The average size of the fish was from 115 - 40 g.
Horse mackerel
A few catches of
horse mackerel were taken last week, and the fish has mainly been
penned-in. The catches varied from 12 to 30 MT, totalling 150 MT.
The average size is from 490-600 g and the fish has been paid at
NOK 5,50. The catching area is close to the south-western coast of
Norway.
