‘‘ ■ What is Icefish?

The Icelandic Fisheries Exhibition or IceFish, is the longest running international fishing exhibition in Iceland. First held in 1984 Icefish has developed into a showcase of every aspect of the commercial fishing, processing, seafood and by-product sectors.

The 2022 edition will be the 13th in the series.

From locating, catching, processing and packaging, right through to the marketing and distribution of the end product, IceFish is a must for all commercial fisheries and seafood organisations. In response to the request of the exhibitors, the event is held on a three-year cycle.

This ensures that each IceFish is different from the last, showcasing fresh technologies, products and services, and providing its visitors with the latest developments from across the market. The last exhibition in 2017 saw a 41% increase in overseas exhibitors and a business focused attendance of 13,621 from 52 countries.

■ Why exhibit?

The fishing and seafood sector remain a pillar of the Icelandic economy and represents 40% of Iceland’s export income, with 10,000+ people also directly employed by the fisheries industry. The Icelandic fleet, processing and exporting sector will be massively boosted by the 2021/2022 Capelin quota.

An 8 fold increase from previous year to 900,000 tonnes is projected to increase Iceland’s GDP positively by 0.8%.

Skippers and owners of 1,561 registered vessels modernise their fleets on an ongoing basis, sixteen vessels were on order or had been delivered at the last IceFish in 2017 and this trend continues for 2022.
