Directorate of Fisheries
Tuna caught as bycatch
16th June 2023
Tuna can be caught as bycatch in pelagic fisheries, therefore we would like to draw attention to the fact that all tuna catches must be reported to the Directorate of Fisheries as soon as possible.
Tuna catch is calculated from Iceland's tuna quota, and all tuna must be reported to ICCAT, the International Council for the Conservation of Atlantic Tuna.
Information about bycatch tuna can be sent on the attached form to fiskistofa@fiskistofa.is
