# Tighter supply situation for mackerel, herring and anchovies

> The FAO reports that the North Sea mackerel quota for 2023 was cut by 13 percent and Canada extended its mackerel fishing moratorium. Japan faces a domestic mackerel shortage that has led some fishing companies to suspend sales. Poor first-half landings of North Sea herring and a disappointing South American anchovy fishery add to the tighter supply picture.

## Why it matters

Lower mackerel, herring and anchovy catches tighten the global supply of fish-based feed ingredients, which supports fishmeal prices. Buyers relying on fishmeal substitutes may face firmer demand and higher costs.
