Abstract
This Regulation governs fishing for Capelin by Icelandic vessels in the waters of Iceland, Greenland, and Jan Mayen. It sets the fishing season from 15 October to 30 April, limits catches according to quotas, and establishes geographical restrictions, including limits on how much may be caught in Greenlandic and Jan Mayen waters. The regulation also contains technical rules on vessel equipment, reporting obligations, landing and weighing of catches, and conditions for transferring catches between vessels to avoid waste. It further defines specific trawling zones, allows authorities to close areas for conservation purposes, and establishes penalties for violations under Icelandic fisheries law.
