One of the most abundant fish in the North Atlantic, herring spawn between December and midsummer.
Adult Atlantic herring can range from 20 - 38 cm in length, and feed on minute organisms like planktonic crustaceans and fish larvae. Female herring spawn up to 40,000 eggs, which hatch in around two weeks.
Fishing takes place in the North Atlantic Ocean (FAO area 27) from July to October. Atlantic herring is a highly migratory stock, distributed across large parts of the North East Atlantic.
The stock is managed multilaterally by five coastal parties: Norway, Russia, Iceland, the EU and the Faroe Islands.
Atlantic herring is caught with a mid-water pelagic trawl (OTM).
The total catch of Atlantic herring has been:
