WE MANAGE 14 % OF THE SPRAT QUOTA IN THE NORTH SEA An all-round mix of quota with a suitable spread between species for human consumption and species for fishmeal and fish oil production is important for a well-managed pelagic fishing company. FISH QUOTAS PELAGIC FISHING The most important pelagic species are herring, mackerel and sprat, which are found in large, always moving shoals. Modern onboard echo sounders and sonar equipment locate the fish several miles away. When the fish has been caught, it is pumped into the fish tanks of the vessel, where it is kept in refrigerated sea water, which constantly is recirculated at a temperature of -0,5 degr.. Cel. Discharging is carried out by vacuum pumping directly into the onshore production plant. Pelagic fishing is carried out without contact between the fishing gear and the sea-bed. LEARN MORE ABOUT PELAGIC FISHING OUR VESSELS The Astrid-activity in Denmark was established by merger with existing Danish fishing companies and direct purchase of smaller vessels holding quotas. Efficient pelagic vessels call for large investments, and full adjustment of catching capacity to a certain fish quota takes time and many different considerations.
