Norway has set a total quota of 1,529,754 tonnes for blue whiting in 2024, in line with the advice of the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea. The Norwegian traditional share of the total quota is 26.245 percent, equivalent to 390,904 tonnes. Norway has also exchanged 26,628 tonnes of blue whiting to Russia and can fish 53,600 tonnes in Faroese waters in 2024. The regulation and distribution of the blue whiting quota in Norway will provide a stable and predictable regulation for fishing in 2024.
