This week, Olso announced it seeks to increase its share of the mackerel - delivering a hammer blow to European fishermen. This means an increase from 191,843 tonnes to 298,2999 tonnes, a staggering rise of 106,456.
However, the decision has been met with anger in Ireland with Charlie McConalogue, Dublin's mMnister for Agriculture, saying it is a "direct threat" to the sustainability of the mackerel industry.
Mr McConalogue said: “This declaration by Norway to hugely increase its fishery for mackerel is a direct threat to the sustainability of the mackerel fishery and the future of the Irish pelagic fishing industry.
"There is no justification for this unilateral, opportunistic and unsustainable move. |

"This is all the more disappointing because it undermines the critically important arrangements for joint management of mackerel by the Coastal States under the UN structure.
"As the scientific advice sets the sustainable level of fishing each year on mackerel, an increase by Norway means either the stock is overfished or other parties must take a smaller share.
"Neither option is acceptable.”
Before Britain's departure from the EU, mackerel was managed under a UN Coastal States Agreement, which included the EU, Norway and the Faroe Islands.
However, this year, the new parties have not been able to put a new Coastal States Agreement on the fish in place, following the UK's departure from the bloc. |
