Nevertheless, they are permitted to fish in the Norwegian economic zone north of 62 ° N for the following fish species: cod (140 000 tons), haddock (35 000 tons), capelin (76 000 tons), Greenland halibut (7 875 tons), Sebastes marinus and Sebastes mentella (4 000 tons as bycatch), saithe (14 250 tons), catfish (4 500 tons), Norwegian spring-spawning herring (79 356 tons – which quota may also apply for fishery in zones around Jan Mayen), other species as bycatch (3 000 tons – which quota only applies to non-regulated quota species and caught as bycatch). Russian vessels shall be permitted to fish 11 192 tons of blue whiting in specific areas (article 4). Permission to by-catch redfish (20%), blue whiting (up to 10% and up to 5% by weight on landing), mackerel (up to 10% and up to 5% by weight on landing) and Norwegian spring-spawning herring (10% when fishing for blue whiting) applies.
