New minimum prices for mackerel for consumption from 30.01.2023
The prices will be as follows:
A new year with new opportunities is upon us. So far just some Atlanto Scandic herring has been registered. The ocean sprat has not yet been found where to be expected.
Atlanto Scandic herring
Week no. 53 is both the last week of 2015 and the first
week of 2016 in combination. Thus the activity has partly been
carried out this year and partly last year! It is however the
catching after 1st January which is normally being the
more important. As a grand total 2.440 MT have been registered of
which 300 MT was before the turn of the year.
Since the turn of the year both vessels penning-in and vessels
netting, have been in operation in the fjords off Trømsø and off
Senja island. The size of the herring was 353 g as an average,
though a couple of vessels operating in the Kaldfjord got herring
by size 280-290 g. Along the coast of Trøndelag county, the size
was 180 g as an average.
Most buyers are again active as from Monday this week, and some of
them have already got their first portion of raw material to start
production. In the forthcoming week higher activity is expected
from coastal vessels. Most likely also purse seiners will
join.
Mackerel
By Christmas time one vessel still had some mackerel
quota left. This volume was taken during the days between Christmas
and New year. On the very last day of 2015, 185 MT of mackerel were
registered. The average size of the mackerel was 339 g and was
taken southwest of Shetland, grid 4250.
Ocean sprat
The new year opened a new season for ocean sprat, and 36
vessels were chosen to take part as from 1st January. By
midnight on Sunday, 14 vessels had set sail to be among the first
to participate. The last day for joining these operations, is on
11th this month by midnight.
From the vessels already being at the field, there is no sprat yet
reported.
