The ministry sources said that the country’s 70 percent quota stipulated by the European Union has already been completed on Sunday, which prompted the authority to stop the fishing in the sea until further notice.
The Salmon fishing, however, would be continued uninterruptedly in the Bay of Finland, said sources.
The European Council sets quota for the member states specifying the amount of catching Salmon from the North Bay every year.
The ministry also said that the decision was based on the estimated amount of Salmon fishing as it is not possible to figure out the real amount and time.
The ministry made the estimation following the reports of catching and selling fishes as the fishermen submit report after two days of their landing.
Meanwhile, the production of Salmon fishes is expected to be higher in the rivers of the country.
