Icelands Marine and Freshwater Research Institute announced on Friday their preliminary results from the last capelin survey.
Although the survey is not completed, the data gathered so far, does not indicate enough findings of adult capelin to warrant any quota this year.
This news is particularly bad for the market of whole-round capelin since the Norwegian MFRI also announced a zero quota in Norwegian waters.
The situation on the market for capelin roe is more relaxed as there are still stocks available.
