Danish Minister of Fisheries Esben Lunde Larsen used his facebook page to announce the results of negotiations with the Council of Ministers that give the Danish fleet 13,000 tonnes of sandeel instead of the originally proposed 5000 tonnes on the Dogger Bank.

Concerns for the 2016 sandeel season expressed by Jesper Juul Larsen, chairman of the South-West Jutland Fishermen’s Association, appear to be well founded following the ICES quota recommendations last week.
