The ministry has issued a regulation on the (2nd) amendment to regulation 228/2023, on lumpfish fishing in 2023, which took effect today, Tuesday, May 16, 2023, where the number of fishing days for lumpfish fishing was increased from 35 to 45.

Vessels that have already completed the 35 days and have not received a coastal fishing permit can send a mail to fiskistofa@fiskistofa.is to have the lumpfish fishing permit activated for 10 days and thus get a total of 45 days, as is currently allowed.

Those boats that have completed the 35 days but have started coastal fishing cannot activate the lumpfish fishing permit again.
