September

Still mackerel being caught in northern waters, trolling has started at the west coast and the season's first purse seiner catches of mackerel are registered. - In addition a lot of North Sea herring are delivered in Norway from foreign vessels.

FHL and Norges Sildesalgslag agreed today on a new set of minimum prices for mackerel delivered for human consumption.

Mackerel catching in progress both in open sea and along the coast. - Still herring from the North Sea.

It has been a very good week for mackerel catching in addition to good catches of ocean sprat - and - also good availability of North Sea herring just off Peter Head.

Due to absence last week, we were not able to produce the week 38 report. Here is last week's report:

More than 30.000 MT of mackerel during three days, but a storm stopped further catching. Some 5.000 MT of different species for reduction purposes and fairly good catching of coastal sprat in Sogn County.
