Norway and Russia Decrease Cod Quotas By 25 Percent Next Year Norway and Russia have reached a fishery agreement for next year. "The cod quota for 2025 is the lowest it has been since 1991 and portrays the severity of the situation. The quota was strongly decreased because we want to stop the negative stock development," writes the Norwegian Fishery Ministry.
