The decrease comes despite full-year pelagic-driven growth, according to World Fishing and Aquaculture.

Reduced catches across the demersal, pelagic, flatfish and shellfish categories saw the total volume of fish landed by Iceland’s fishing fleet in December 2025 fall by 13% year-on-year or more than 7,900 tonnes to 53,394 tonnes, according to preliminary figures for the month gathered by Statistics Iceland.
