Good mackerel fishing for Norwegian fleet. After a lot of searching in both the Norwegian Sea and the North Sea, the mackerel finally turned up a bit for the Norwegian ocean-going fleet last week, says Norwegian pelagic sales group Norges Sildesalgslag. “If we look back at previous years, it has been several years since there was as good mackerel fishing in the North Sea as we have had this week,” says sales consultant Sigurd Vedøy. “We have to go back to 2015-2016-2017 to find a similar quantity. “We have fished half of the total quota now, so we hope that the fishery will continue and that we will meet the mackerel quota.” In addition to activity in the North Sea, close to the border with the British zone, there are also some looking a little further north-east in the North Sea. In total, there are around 60 ocean-going vessels on the sea.
