The shrimp quota for the North Sea and Skagerrak for the next quota year will be 4,612 tonnes, of which 2,888 tonnes will be allocated to Norway.

The increase is due both to the increasing total quota for the management period 2026-2028 and to Norway securing a larger share in the negotiations.

"The goal remains an agreement that also includes the EU and Greenland," said the Norwegian Minister of Fisheries and Oceans.

The agreement sets shared quotas for key North Sea stocks and introduces tighter measures for cod protection.

"Now we must begin to make use of this fantastic resource," said Norwegian Minister of Fisheries and Oceans, Marianne Sivertsen Næss.

Following the recommendation from the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea, the quota represents a 12% decrease compared to last year.
