Abstract

This Decree places limits on the fishing for cod and haddock by trawlers north of the 62nd parallel and some other specified areas outside of the Norwegian Economic Zone. The Decree prohibits in principle the fishing for these species but section 2 allows a total quota of 57.128 tons of cod and 18.567 tons of haddock to be fished by vessels registered with the Director of Fisheries pursuant to section 3. Section 2 also indicates amounts of allowable bycatch. Section 4 specifies yearly quotas for fresh fish trawling vessels, salt fish trawling vessels, and factory vessels between 250 and 400 GRT. At least 20 percent of the catch quota shall be fished before or on 1 of September (sect. 5). Section 6 specifies quotas for small trawlers. The prohibition does not apply to quotas allocated to other States (sect. 8). The remaining provisions deal with bycatch for vessels fishing for coalfish or shrimps (sects. 9 and 10), a stop on fishing during Easter and a stop on fishing if the quota levels are reached.
