> Imported frozen mackerel prices in South Korea have more than doubled since January, with September import prices at 7,182 won per kg, up 75.5% year on year. Norway's mackerel quota fell to about 81,000 tons this year, a 50.9% drop, following an ICES recommendation to curb catches. South Korean imports from January to September fell 41.9%.

## Why it matters

Norway is Korea's top mackerel supplier, so the sharp quota cut tightens import supply and keeps landed prices elevated, while domestic prices soften on higher local output. Buyers of mackerel-linked feed or bait inputs should expect continued firmness in imported fish prices.
