The Norwegian fishing industry delivered 2.5 million tonnes of live caught fish worth NOK 11.1 billion in 2009, while another 958,054 tonnes of farm-raised fish and shellfish brought a record NOK 22 billion. These results make Norway the second largest fish exporter on the planet – a title that is due in part to the well developed and versatile fishing and aquaculture industry based in the Tromsø region.
