Realtime closure No 5, the ban on fishing with midwater trawl will take effect at 18:00 on 29 November 2022 and will remain in effect until 18:00 on 13 December 2022.

The exclusion zone is limited by the following coordinates:

  1. 65°42.00'N, 11°37,00'V

  2. 65°42.00'N, 09°00,00'V

  3. 65°10.00'N, 09°00,00'V

  4. 65°10.00'N, 11°37,00'V

The prerequisite for closure is harmful fishing, as the catch of Icelandic summer spawning herring was in excess of the fishing advice of the Marine and Freshwater Research Institute.
