Norway hikes 2024 snow crab quota, but will restrict fishing access from 2025

The ministry approved a 32% increase in the quota for next year but will impose a 'strict limitation' on participants in 2025.

"A strict limitation of the catch is necessary to ensure better profitability in the snow crab catch," said Norway's Fisheries and Oceans Minister Cecilie Myrseth.
