Norway sets its own quota on shared mackerel stock, dropping allowable catch by 7%

Countries fishing on the stocks have been unable to agree on how to divide the catch between them, which has resulted in harvests above the recommended quota levels.

The total mackerel quota, to be distributed between the Coastal States -- The European Union, Norway, Iceland, Faroe Islands, the United Kingdom, Russia and Greenland -- is 794,920 metric tons.
