Strong Blue Whiting Catches Signal Near End of Norway's 2026 Quota

Fishing activity expected to slow as vessels approach quota limits in Faroese waters

Blue Whiting

 

 

 

Fishing for blue whiting has remained robust over the past week, particularly in the Faroese zone , where a total of 29,765 tonnes was reported by a fleet consisting of 1 Swedish and 15 Norwegian vessels .

This surge in activity brings Norway significantly closer to exhausting its annual allocation. Of the total 230,712-tonne Norwegian quota for 2026 , only 23,678 tons now remain.

As of Monday , just 4 Norwegian vessels are still active in the fishing grounds. Industry expectations point to a noticeable slowdown in the coming days, as most boats have either reached or are close to fulfilling their quotas.

The strong performance this week underscores both the productivity of the season and the efficiency of the fleet, but also marks the approaching conclusion of this year's blue whiting campaign for Norway.

Blue cod catch is strong, Norway's 2026 quota is nearing exhaustion.

Fishing activities are expected to slow as quotas for waters off the Faroe Islands approach their limit.

Blue cod catches were strong over the past week, particularly in the Faroe Islands waters , where a Swedish vessel and 15 Norwegian vessels reported a total catch of 29,765 tons .

This peak fishing season brings Norway closer to exhausting its annual quota. Of Norway's total quota of 230,712 tons for 2026 , only 23,678 tons remain .

As of Monday , only four Norwegian vessels remained operating in the fishing grounds. Industry experts expect fishing activity to slow significantly in the coming days as most vessels have completed or are close to completing their quotas.

This week's strong performance not only highlights the high yield and fleet efficiency of this season, but also marks the nearing end of Norway's blue cod fishing season this year.
