ICES is proposing a quota of 511,171 metric tons for Norwegian spring-spawning herring next year, down from an estimated catch of 827,963 metric tons in 2022. — ICES is proposing a quota of 511,171 metric tons for Norwegian spring-spawning herring next year, down from an estimated catch of 827,963 metric tons in 2022.Photo: Jack Gerhardsen
