The stock of Atlanto-Scandian herring (also referred to as Norwegian spring-spawning herring) is the largest herring stock of the world. It produced catches of the order of 1 million to 2 million tonnes.
Good to know
The term "Atlanto-Scandian herring" is now generally accepted to cover three stocks: "Norwegian spring spawners", "Icelandic spring spawners" and "Icelandic summer spawners". Since the Norwegian spring spawners constitute by far the largest stock, the term is frequently applied to that stock alone.
