What happened
Norway and Russia reached an agreement to increase the total allowable catch of cod in the Barents Sea by 14% for 2027, setting the quota at 325,000 tonnes. The agreement also established quotas for haddock, capelin, halibut, and perch. Separately, the Joint Russian-Norwegian Working Group on Arctic Fisheries advised that there should be zero catches of Barents Sea capelin in 2027.

Why it matters
The agreement affects fishing operations in the Barents Sea, as Norway and Russia receive the largest shares of the catch. The joint working group's advice on capelin stock development provides guidance for future fishing management.
Delegates recently met to discuss Arctic governance, sustainable polar management, and climate change.
