Of these quantities 749 tons of cod, 548 tons of haddock and 160 tons of saithe are allocated for research, apprenticeships and teaching purposes, while 7 000 tons of cod, 300 tons of haddock and 2 000 tons of saithe may cover capture within youth fishing schemes and recreational fishing (recreational tourist fishing). 3 680 tons of cod and 930 tons of haddock are allocated to conventional deep-sea vessels, vessels with cod trawling permit and vessel with saithe trawl license as compensation for lack of access to EU waters in 2014. 3 000 tons of cod are allocated to monitoring of coastal fisheries committee for Finnmark, 350 tons of saithe for baitl , 4 000 tons of cod to cover quota bonus by live storage and 500 tons of cod to cover intervention in fishing for capelin.
