Russian companies make play for coldwater shrimp in Barents Sea

Russian fishery researchers are recommending the quota be lifted sharply for the waters as companies prepare to increase activities there.

The 70-meter trawler Brimnes, built in 2002, was acquired by Norebo Group in 2018, and refitted for fishing northern shrimp (Pandalus borealis) in the Barents Sea. The vessel has been renamed Spitsbergen.
