Icelandic aquaculture production decreased by 3.5% in 2023, with salmon accounting for 88% and arctic char 11% of the production. The export value of salmon products saw a 9% decrease from the previous year. In contrast, wild catch vessels landed 23% more in April 2024, with increased catch in most demersal species and pelagic catch also rising by 24% due to an increase in blue whiting catch. However, the total catch over the next 12 months was 21% lower due to the lack of capelin catch.
