Pulse
The state of the Norwegian pelagic sector right now — landings, settlement prices, sector P&L, macro context.
Of the 799 kept operators, 791 land directly in the core sector aggregate (the headline NOK 69.90 bn revenue figure). The other 8 are salmon-aquaculture-arm subsidiaries documented separately so a regulatory reader can trace the boundary: 4 in adjacent (with primary pelagic citations) + 4 in caveat (with weaker / multi-vertical citations). Their combined revenue is excluded from the sector aggregate. Verify ↗

Three regulatory views from Fiskeridirektoratet's open-data Statistikkbanken (NLOD 2.0): pelagic licence counts as the structural-quota proxy, spawning-stock biomass per stock, and Norwegian catch by species cross-checked against Sildelaget. Absolute-tonnage Ministry quotas (Forskrift om regulering) stay PDF-only.
Number of vessels carrying each pelagic licence type, summed across all kommuner. Licence counts are NOT kvoteandel — two operators can hold the same number of licences yet have very different quota allocation. For the regulatory deltakerloven §21 concentration measure, see the Pulse hero Concentration by license type strip + methodology §3.14.

Sildelaget weekly auction prices — Norwegian pelagic first-sale
Volume-weighted NOK/kg per species at the Norges Sildesalgslag cooperative auction. The current Kvoteoversikt snapshot is a cumulative year-to-date (YTD) value through the Sluttseddelperiode end-date; the prior-year column captures the comparable period from the previous calendar year. Per-week trajectories before the first captured snapshot are not served by Sildelaget; the integrated payload accumulates new snapshots over time.
What this number is — auction first-sale, not settlement, not export
Sildelaget's Kvoteoversikt reports the auction first-sale price (Norwegian: auksjonspris) — the volume-weighted clearing price across all buyers in the cooperative auction. The fisherman's actual settlement price (oppgjørspris) is ~2-4 % lower after lagsavgift, kontrollavgift, and quality deductions. The realized export contract price (FOB) that processors charge international buyers is processor-specific and typically denominated in EUR or USD; that delta is not served at this layer. Verify ↗ methodology §3.13
Current YTD prices — 2026-W17 vs 2025-W17
Ten Sildelaget-listed pelagic species. NOK/kg is the volume-weighted YTD price through the snapshot week. YoYΔ compares the current YTD against the prior-year same year-week. Tonnes landed is the cumulative YTD tonnage. Species not landed in the current period render UNAVAILABLE per the four-state vocabulary.

Five-year per-species history — annual landmarks plus weekly snapshots
One card per species. Annual landmark values come from the Sildelaget omsetningsstatistikk PDFs (2020-2024 full coverage; 2025 partial); weekly snapshots add the cumulative-YTD points captured from the Kvoteoversikt page from 2025-W17 onward. Card title is in Norwegian (Sildelaget convention); English translation and Latin binomial render in the title attribute on hover. Cards are ordered alphabetically by Norwegian species name.

Week-of-year cycle — UNAVAILABLE in current snapshot
The week-of-year cycle view (per-species price by week 1-52, banded by year) needs continuous weekly trajectories across multiple calendar years. Sildelaget's Kvoteoversikt page is single-state — only the current weekly snapshot is served. The integrated payload accumulates new snapshots as they are captured; the cycle view unblocks once the payload covers a full year of weekly observations (estimated 2027-W17, 12 months after the first captured snapshot).

Methodology Read full methodology ↗
Executive summary inline; full 1075-line v1 baseline + v2 delta lives at methodology.html.
The v10 universe defines which Norwegian operators count as part of the pelagic sector — 10 species in scope (sild NVG, sild Nordsjøen, makrell, kolmule, lodde, hestmakrell, brisling, tobis, øyepål, polartorsk). Antarctic krill, Sebastes mentella pelagic-uer, and the Iceland-Greenland-Jan Mayen lodde stock are explicitly out of scope (per methodology §2.1 v10 footnote).
Classification runs four inclusion gates (A Sildelaget pelagic landing 2020-2024, B pelagic-licensed vessel, C qualifying NACE with ≥3 employees, D industry association — deferred), then a 5-rule first-match-wins classifier assigns each kept entity to core, adjacent, or caveat tier behind four pre-classification structural exclusion filters (saltfish NACE drop, inland-kommune signal, fisheries-keyword on generic NACE, KBO/AVVIKLINGSBO/DØDSBO winding-up).
The 2026-04-28 universe carries 799 kept operators (791 core, 4 adjacent, 4 caveat) and 8,631 excluded with discrete reasons. Eight salmon-aquaculture-arm operators are split across the adjacent (4) and caveat (4) tiers per the methodology's adjacency rule; their combined revenue is excluded from the core sector aggregate.
Production ships Brreg single-year filings only — latest filing per operator (Phase 2A, NOK 69.90 bn sector revenue across 578 core-with-filing operators of 791 total core; 8.32% net margin). Of the 578 contributing filings: 508 (~88%) are calendar-year 2024, 68 (~12%) use a fiscal year ending in 2025, and 2 are older stragglers (2022/2023). The headline reads "2024 sector revenue" because the majority cohort uses that fiscal year; readers reconciling against a strict-2024 cut should subtract the 70 non-2024-FY contributions. Multi-year P&L history is gated on Phase 2B PDF extraction (LLM-spend-gated; ~$9 for top-15 operators when authorised). Any chart that displays a 5-year trend is illustrative until Phase 2B closes.

Rule-excluded ≠ out of scope. 8,631 candidates are rule-excluded (failed an inclusion gate or hit a §3 filter — not in the universe). The 8 salmon-arm operators in the Adjacent + Caveat tiers are out of scope (kept in the dataset for transparency, excluded from the headline aggregate per the adjacency rule). The Core tier (791) is what sums into the Pulse hero.
