In November, the total fish catch was just under 94 thousand tonnes, a 7% increase compared with November 2023. The demersal fish catch amounted to just over 32 thousand tonnes, of which cod accounted for around 19 thousand tonnes. Pelagic catch was nearly 60 thousand tonnes, a 24% increase compared with November last year. The pelagic catch consisted of herring, about 36 thousand tonnes, and blue whiting, nearly 24 thousand tonnes.
The total catch over the 12-month period from December 2023 to November 2024 was approximately 979 thousand tons, a 29% decrease compared with the same period the previous year. The main reason for this decline is that there was no capelin catch.
