Brussels – Fishing quotas for cod in the Kattegat have been further decreased following an agreement among EU member states regarding next year’s fishing activities in regions such as the North Sea, the Atlantic, and the Mediterranean.
Under the new regulations, cod in the Kattegat can only be caught as bycatch, with a limit of 72 tons set for both 2025 and 2026. This marks a 17 percent reduction from the current year’s quota.
This year’s negotiations, which extended into the early hours of Wednesday, also led to decreased trawling in the Mediterranean waters of Spain, France, and Italy, along with a notable reduction in horse mackerel catch limits off the coast of Portugal.
