Sjávarútvegur Noregs, sem starfar utan sameiginlegu sjávarútvegsstefnu ESB, hefur verið stöðugt arðbær og vel stjórnaður. Heildarafli var 2,4–2,7 milljónir tonna árlega 2022–2024 og útflutningur sjávarafurða náði 172 milljörðum NOK (um 15 milljarðar evra) árið 2023 — methámarki.

Enska frumtextinn
Norway's fishing industry, operating outside the EU's Common Fisheries Policy (CFP), has been consistently profitable and well-managed. Key statistics: Norway's total fish catch was approximately 2.4–2.7 million tonnes annually in 2022–2024, making it the largest fishing nation in Europe by volume. Norwegian fish exports were valued at approximately NOK 172 billion (approximately EUR 15 billion) in 2023, a record high. The Norwegian Institute of Marine Research reports that key commercial stocks managed by Norway — including Atlantic cod (skrei), herring (sild), mackerel (makrell), and farmed Atlantic salmon — are in good condition, with most stocks at or above sustainable levels. Norway manages its fisheries through a combination of national legislation and bilateral agreements (particularly with the EU, Russia, and Iceland through NEAFC). The success of Norway's fisheries management is frequently cited in Icelandic anti-EU discourse as evidence that EU membership and the CFP are unnecessary for sustainable, profitable fisheries.

Norway's fishing industry success reflects specific factors that may not be directly transferable to Iceland's situation: Norway has a much larger exclusive economic zone, more diverse fisheries, and massive aquaculture (farmed salmon) that accounts for a large share of export value. Iceland's fisheries are more concentrated on a few species (primarily cod, haddock, and capelin). Also, Norway does participate in various EU fisheries frameworks through bilateral agreements — it is not entirely independent of EU fisheries governance. Some stocks (mackerel, herring) are jointly managed, and disagreements over quotas have occurred.
