Iceland fish exports on rise
Published: 26 September, 2011
ICELAND exported fish and seafood products to the world totalling 647 million euros - or £569 million sterling - during the first six months of this year, new figures have shown.
Seafood now accounts 37 per cent of the country's total exports which amounted to 1.729-billion euros - or £1.5 billion sterling. But the biggest foreign revenue earner is still high value aluminium and ferro silicon. Iceland also earns revenue for the export of ships, fishing vessels and agricultural products.
In other statistics the value of fish catches by Icelandic vessels increased by 13.7 per cent last year from 2009. The value of the catch amounted to 131-billion kroners (£698 million sterling or 621-million euros) in 2010, compared to 115-billion kroners (£613-million or 537-million euros the a year before.
This increase can largely be attributed to the country's most valuable fish stock, cod, since the value of this catch increased by a fifth and amounted to a total value of 44.6 billion kroners (£245-million or 200-million euros) last year. Cod catches were up by 10,000 tons to 160,000 tons, thanks to higher quotas.
Moreover, the value of pelagic catches other than herring, capelin and blue whiting almost doubled last year from the year before and this was largely due to the increased fishing of mackerel. About 40 per cent of the catch went directly from being fished into domestic processing last year.

Sue Iceland is not only catching its own fish stocks, which it carefully nurtured and monitored , but it also catches the fish stock in the waters Newfoundland and Labrador brought into Canada, under the flags of other Nations.
Imagine Iceland will not allow their next door neighbours into their waters but yet Canada allows the fish resource that Newfoundland and Labrador brought into Canada and passed over to Ottawa for maintenance to be hammered by the 27 countries under the EU banner, plus many other countries, such as China, Japan, Russia, Korea, and any other Nation with whom it can nail an International Contract with for the trade of Canadian Agriculture or Manufactured goods. As a result of Ottawa's control and manipulation it has allowed the fishers of Newfoundland and Labrador to lose their livlihood, because of the few pounds of fish they allot to Newfoundland and Labrador fishers, so that it has the bulk of the fish quotas to garner International Trade. Shame on You Ottawa and on NL's Premier for allowing it to happen.
