January 5, 2022 International News, National, North Pacific

“2021 was another exciting export year for Norwegian seafood. We are in the very favorable position of having products in high demand the world over, even in times of crisis.

The New England groundfish debacle (Part III): who or what is at fault? Nils E. Stolpe/FishNet
