Another Storm Erupts in the European Fishing Industry

2025-12-20


On December 15, the United Kingdom, Norway, Iceland, and the Faroe Islands reached a new agreement on the allocation of the 2026 Northeast Atlantic mackerel quota, setting the total allowable catch (TAC) at 299,010 tonnes—a substantial reduction compared with the 2025 level.

2024 is a momentous year for Norwegian mackerel.

The year 2024 has been a landmark one for Norwegian mackerel. Data show that Norway exported a total of 313,242 tonnes of mackerel, generating export revenues of NOK 8.3 billion. This not only elevated mackerel to the third-largest seafood export category in Norway but also set a new export record. Compared with 2023, export value increased by NOK 1.6 billion, a rise of 24%, while export volume grew by 2% year on year. Norwegian mackerel is highly prized in global markets for its exceptional quality. Sourced from the cold, pristine waters of the North Atlantic, this fish is distinguished by its striking, well-defined blue-and-silver markings, tender and succulent flesh, and rich omega-3 fatty acid content, making it exceptionally nutritious. Despite a general decline in global mackerel supplies—driven by reduced availability in key markets such as the Atlantic, Japan, and South Korea—this trend has, paradoxically, pushed prices higher, thereby boosting Norway’s mackerel export earnings. Jan Eirik Johnsen, Head of Pelagic Fish at the Norwegian Seafood Council, stated: “The primary drivers behind the rise in mackerel prices are reduced supply and higher average prices. Since 2021, the average export price of Norwegian mackerel has increased by 75%.” Notably, the Chinese market staged a strong rebound in 2024, with Norwegian mackerel exports to China surging significantly. Export volume reached 45,105 tonnes, up 39% year on year, while export value climbed to NOK 1.2 billion, a 72% increase over the previous year.
