Montenegro plans to extend the closed season for small pelagic fish by one month and limit fishing to four days a week, with measures due by April 2027. The restrictions cover sardines, anchovies and sprat, following GFCM limits for 2027 that cut sardine catches by 38% and anchovy catches by 10%.
A fishing port in Ulcinj is also planned.
Small Adriatic catch cuts are marginal for global fishmeal supply, so the effect on feed prices is likely minimal, though they add to the tight small pelagic outlook.
