3100 tons of blue whiting from 2 ships

Not  many pelagic ship from Iceland have been fishing, but some of the have been fishing


blue whiting , but they have to fish it far far away from Iceland.  

they are fishing out side of the ireland.  and that is in about 800 miles from Iceland,

but it has been relay  difficult to fish so far away because the weather has been bad 

most of the time the ship have been fishing there

now there are 2 ships coming to Iceland with total of about 3100 tons

of blue whiting,   Jón Kjartansson SU that has about 1500 tons

and Hoffell SU that has about 1650 tons.

Hoffell SU is that smallest if the icelandic pelagic ship that is fishing blue whiting

but has now fish the  most of the icelandic ships, around 7000 tons,
