Installation of the largest and most advanced processing line ever assembled in Iceland was completed at the beginning of the year at HB Grandi’s plant in Reykjavik, the largest ground fish processing plant in Iceland.
So far this year HB Grandi’s pelagic vessels have landed 27,000 tonnes of Atlanto-Scandian herring and mackerel at Vopnafjördur. This represents a significant reduction in catch compared to last year, when 41,000 tonnes of mackerel and herring had been landed at the same point in 2009. The good news is that production of herring and mackerel for human consumption has increased dramatically, with approximately three times the amount going to production this year compared to 2009.
HB Grandi’s pelagic vessel have landed tripled amount of fish to production in spite of low catches, says a report.
Iceland trawlers have all the right to fish mackerel from its waters as much quantity as it require, claimed Fisheries Minister.
