We have been shooting on big marks in heavy seas and some people have seen their gear badly damaged,' said Gudlaugur Jonsson, skipper of HB Grandi's pelagic vessel Ingunn AK, now steaming to Vopnafjordur with between 1600 and 1700 tonnes of capelin caught in Faxa Bay on board.

HB Grandi: Roe freezing for Japan about to start
FISHERY AND PROCESSING
February 29, 2012 08:25
HB Grandi's capelin production has been going very well recently and roe extraction began last Sunday at both Akranes and Vopnafjordur factories. The roes are judged to be 75% mature, and although this is not enough for the Japanese market, this still makes it possible to produce top-quality industrial roe. The roe content in the capelin at the front of the migration off Reykjanes was around 23-24% early this week and the start of roe extraction and freezing for the Japanese market is not far off, reports www.megafishnet.com.
Capelin freezing to start next week?
FISHERY AND PROCESSING
February 24, 2012 08:32
The capelin season has been going well for the last two weeks and now the roe content of the capelin and its maturity are approaching the point at which roe extraction and freezing can start. According to HB Grandi's pelagic division, this could be as early as next week. Last year roe extraction began at HB Grandi's Akranes factory on the 16th of February, but this year it looks like starting around ten days later, reports www.megafishnet.com with HB Grandi.

HB Grandi reaches capelin quota halfway point
FISHERY AND PROCESSING
February 14, 2012 16:05
Yesterday HB Grandi's pelagic vessels, along with two other vessels brought in to fish the company's capelin quota, had taken 51,000 tonnes of capelin so far this season, equivalent to half of the company's allocated 102,000 tonne quota. According to Vilhjalmur Vilhjalmsson, head of department at HB Grandi's pelagic division, an additional quota is also expected to be issued as it seems unlikely that the Greenlandic fleet will be able to catch its full quota, reports www.megafishnet.com.
