Strong Performance in North Sea Herring Fishery Across Norwegian Zone

Diverse catch sizes benefit both the fillet industry and reduction plants as mackerel and blue whiting remain steady.

North Sea Herring

The North Sea herring (Clupea harengus) fishery recorded another highly productive week, characterized by extensive operations spanning a vast territory within the Norwegian economic zone, alongside minor catches reported from the UK zone just east of Shetland.

According to the latest fleet data, a total volume of 16,680 tonnes of North Sea herring was registered last week. Out of this total, 10,241 tonnes were directed toward human consumption, while 6,439 tonnes were allocated for reduction to fishmeal and fish oil.

The geographic distribution of the fleet shifted significantly throughout the week. Operations commenced around the Vikingbanken region before moving northward toward the Statfjord field. Analysts noted a direct correlation between latitude and fish size: the herring caught further north exhibited a larger average weight, providing a much-needed boost to the fillet processing sector, which has faced a sustained demand for larger raw materials. The average weight for consumption-grade herring rose to 149 grams, marking a 9-gram increase compared to the previous week.

Conversely, activity in the northern grounds decelerated heading into the weekend, prompting vessels to relocate south toward the Patchbanken area. The herring schools in this southern sector consisted of significantly smaller specimens, averaging between 115 grams and 120 grams. Consequently, the majority of the volume from this area was routed to the fishmeal and fish oil processing industry.

Mackerel

Coastal Mackerel Fleet Maintains Steady Local Landings

The small-scale coastal fleet targeting Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus) sustained stable activity, reporting total landings of 84.3 tonnes.

 

Catches were distributed across a wide coastal range, stretching from the municipality of Alver in Vestland county in the north, down to Strand municipality in Rogaland county in the south. The quality of the landings remained high, with the average weight categorized by market destination: 360 grams for specimens destined for freezing, and 402 grams for the fresh seafood market.

Blue Whiting

Blue Whiting Landings Remain Modest Along the Continental Slope

Industrial fishing for blue whiting (Micromesistius poutassou) saw limited but steady activity over the past week.

 

A total of 3 vessels reported catches from the traditional grounds along "Kanten" (the continental slope). The combined volume landed by these vessels amounted to 1,280 tonnes for the period.

Sand Eels

Danish Vessels Deliver Sandeel Catches from Southern North Sea Grounds

The sandeel (Ammodytidae) fishery saw activity from international fleets operating in the southern reaches of the North Sea.

On Sunday, 2 Danish vessels registered a combined total of 1,357 tonnes of sandeel. The catches were harvested in the southernmost sectors of the North Sea basin, in close proximity to the Dutch coast.

ノルウェー経済水域の広範囲で北海ニシン漁が好調を維持

多様な魚体のサイズはフィレ加工業とミール・オイル製造工場の両方に恩恵をもたらし、サバとブルーホワイティングは安定を維持

ノルウェー、ベルゲン — 北海ニシン(Clupea harengus)漁は、ノルウェー経済水域内の広大な海域にわたる大規模な操業と、シェトランド諸島のすぐ東側に位置する英国水域からの少量の水揚げにより、今週も非常に高い生産性を記録しました。

最新の漁船団データによると、先週登録された北海ニシンの総水揚げ量は16,680トンに達しました。この総量のうち、10,241トンが食用(消費用)として仕向けられ、6,439トンが魚粉(フィッシュミール)および魚油(フィッシュオイル)への加工用として割り当てられました。

漁船団の地理的な分布は、週を通じて大きく変化しました。操業はバイキングバンケン(Vikingbanken)周辺海域から始まり、その後スタトフィヨルド(Statfjord)油田に向けて北上しました。アナリストは、緯度と魚のサイズとの間に直接的な相関関係があることを指摘しています。より北側で漁獲されたニシンは平均重量が大きく、大型の原材料に対する持続的な需要に直面していたフィレ加工部門にとって、待望の好材料となりました。消費用ニシンの平均重量は149グラムに上昇し、前週比で9グラムの増加を記録しました。

逆に、週末にかけて北側の漁場での活動が減速したため、漁船は南側のパッチバンケン(Patchbanken)海域へと移動しました。この南部セクターのニシンの群れは、平均115グラムから120グラムと、著しく小さな個体で構成されていました。その結果、この海域からの水揚げの大半は、魚粉・魚油加工工場へと回されました。

沿岸サバ漁船団は地元の安定した水揚げを維持

大西洋サバ(Scomber scombrus)を対象とする小規模な沿岸漁船団は、安定した活動を維持し、総水揚げ量84.3トンを記録しました。

漁獲は、北はヴェストラン(Vestland)県のアルヴェル(Alver)自治体から、南はロガラン(Rogaland)県のストランド(Strand)自治体まで、広範囲にわたる沿岸地域に分布しています。水揚げの品質は引き続き高く、市場の仕向け地別の平均重量は、冷凍用が360グラム、生鮮製品(新鮮な製品)市場向けが402グラムに分類されています。

大陸棚斜面沿いのブルーホワイティングの水揚げは緩慢な動き

ブルーホワイティング(Micromesistius poutassou)の産業漁業は、過去1週間、限定的ではあるものの安定した活動を見せました。

3隻の漁船が、伝統的な漁場である「カンテン(Kanten)」(大陸棚斜面)からの漁獲を報告しました。これらの漁船による当該期間の合計水揚げ量は1,280トンに達しました。

デンマーク籍船が北海南部漁場からイカナゴを水揚げ

イカナゴ(Ammodytidae)漁では、北海盆地の南部海域で操業する国際漁船団の活動が見られました。

日曜日、2隻のデンマーク籍船が、合計1,357トンのイカナゴを登録しました。これらの漁獲物は、オランダ沿岸に近い北海盆地の最南端セクターで採取されたものです。

北海鲱鱼捕捞在挪威海域大部维持强劲势头

鱼体大小的多样性使菲力加工业和鱼粉鱼油厂双双受益,鲭鱼和蓝鳕保持稳定。

挪威,卑尔根 — 北海鲱鱼(Clupea harengus)捕捞业在上周再次创下高产记录。其特点是在挪威经济区内的广阔海域进行了大规模作业,同时在设得兰群岛正东侧的英国海域也有少量捕捞。

根据最新的船队数据,上周登记的北海鲱鱼总捕捞量达到16,680吨。在这一总量中,10,241吨用于人类消费,而有6,439吨被分配用于加工鱼粉和鱼油。

船队的地理分布在整周内发生了显着变化。作业始于维京班根(Vikingbanken)周边海域,随后向北移至斯塔特福约德(Statfjord)油田。分析师指出,纬度与鱼体大小之间存在直接的正相关关系:在更北端捕获的鲱鱼平均重量更大,这为面临大规格原料持续需求的菲力加工部门带来了急需的推动力。消费级鲱鱼的平均重量升至149克,较前一周增加了9克

相反,临近周末时,北部渔场的捕捞活动有所放缓,促使渔船向南迁移至帕奇班根(Patchbanken)海域。该南部区域的鲱鱼群由明显较小的个体组成,平均重量在115克120克之间。因此,该地区的大部分捕捞量被转运至鱼粉和鱼油加工厂。

近海鲭鱼船队维持稳定的本地渔获上岸量

针对大西洋鲭鱼(Scomber scombrus)的小型近海船队保持了稳定的作业,报告的总上岸量为84.3吨

捕捞物分布在广泛的海岸范围内,北起韦斯特兰(Vestland)郡的阿尔弗(Alver)市镇,南至罗加兰(Rogaland)郡的斯特兰(Strand)市镇。上岸捕捞物的质量保持在高水平,按市场去向分类的平均重量为:用于冷冻加工的个体系360克,面向鲜活市场的个体系402克

大陆坡沿线的蓝鳕上岸量保持低迷

蓝鳕(Micromesistius poutassou)的工业化捕捞在过去一周表现出有限但稳定的活动。

共有3艘渔船报告了来自传统渔场“坎滕”(Kanten,即大陆坡)的捕捞量。这些渔船在此期间的总上岸量为1,280吨

丹麦渔船交付北海南部渔场的玉筋鱼捕获量

在北海盆地南部海域作业的国际船队在玉筋鱼(Ammodytidae)捕捞中表现出活跃迹象。

 

周日,2艘丹麦渔船登记了总计1,357吨的玉筋鱼。这些渔获是在靠近荷兰海岸的北海盆地最南端区域捕获的。
