TAC for mackerel, herring, blue whiting and capelin all cut

Based on scientific advice, ICES has recommended significant cuts in the TACs for mack-erel, herring, blue whiting and capelin. At the same time, the organization claims that several species, such as mackerel, hake, and monkfish have recovered. The situation for herring, however, is not so bright.

The Barents Sea survey, undertaken by Norway’s Institute of Marine Research (IMR), showed that while some stocks like cod and mackerel are strong, the situation for her-ring and capelin gives cause for concern. Herring stocks have been greatly reduced (perhaps as a result of heavy cod stocks feeding on herring), and researchers found reduced stocks of adult capelin as well. ICES has recommended reductions in the TAC for Norwegian spring spawning herring, and it is expected that the joint Norwegian-Russian Fisheries Commission will set a lower TAC for capelin next year as well.

HERRING MARKET REPORT

Herring

Supplies

According to the Norwegian IMR, the Norwegian spring spawning herring stocks have been deteriorating since 2004. The spawning biomass has fallen below 4 million tonnes, and if it falls as low as 2.5 million tonnes, researchers will advise a total stop to this fishery. Next year, IMR estimates that the spawning stock will be at around 3.5 million tonnes.

After the disastrous Exxon Valdez oil spill in 1989, Alaska’s herring stocks suffered a serious set-back. However, the stock is now recovering, and some are hoping that the Alaska herring fishery may be re-opened in 2015 albeit with a small TAC.

Trade

After the Russian Federation imposed the import ban on seafood from Norway, Norwegian exports to the Russian Federation fell by a massive 82% in August. Herring and trout were the most affected products. Herring exports dropped from 2 841 tonnes in July to just 1 130 tonnes in August (-60%). The export price to the Russian Federation went up by almost 5%, though. The Russian Federation is the single largest import market for Norwegian herring, and during the first 8 months of 2014, the Russian Federation had imported 31 725 tonnes of frozen whole herring from Norway, accounting for 31% of Norway’s total exports of frozen herring. Thus, Norwegian herring exporters are feeling the import ban particularly hard.

Currently, Russian fish processing companies are ready to substitute Norwegian Atlantic herring with Atlantic herring from Iceland and the Faroe Islands, and to a lesser extent with Pacific herring from the Russian Far East. The Russian herring market is estimated at 430 000 tonnes annually, and 45% of market demand was previously covered by imported Atlantic herring.

Overall supplies of herring have been a little tighter this year, and this is reflected in international trade figures. Norwegian exports of frozen whole herring declined from 86 000 tonnes during the first half of 2013 to 81 500 tonnes during the same period in 2014 (-5.2%). These trends were before the Russian import ban, so the Russian Federation was still by far the largest market, taking 28 200 tonnes, or 35.3% of total Norwegian frozen herring exports.. Other main markets like Ukraine and Lithuania took 13 500 and 13 300 tonnes, respectively. While Ukraine demonstrated a slight decline in imports likely due to the war, there was an increase in shipments to Lithuania.

Dutch exports of herring increased considerably during the first six months of 2014. Total Dutch herring exports grew by +20.2%, with Egypt and Nigeria as the main markets.

German imports of frozen herring fillets fell slightly during the first half of the year, by -8.9%. Norway, the main supplier, strengthened its position on this market.

Japan is importing more fresh and frozen herring this year. Imports during the first six months of the year increased by 48.1% compared with the same time period in 2013. The main supplier, the USA, strengthened its position considerably, while the Russian Federation lost market share.

Prices

Prices for herring have been on a declining trend for

some time, and this continued in the past quarter. Export prices for Norwegian whole frozen herring slid from NOK 11.82 per kg in June to just NOK 6.36 per kg in August. This is a seasonal trend, though the longer-term trend is still slightly downward. Export prices for frozen herring fillets also declined, although not so dramatically, from NOK 11.82 per kg in June to NOK 10.87 per kg in August.
