Greenland, accounts for the other 22 percent. Danish fisher- 
men no longer fish for salmon off the U.S. coast as high op- 
erating costs have made this operation unprofitable. 
SIZE AND COMPOSITION OF THE HARVEST 
Since 1970 the Danish fish catch has increased from 2.6 
billion pounds in 1970 to 4:0 billion pounds in 1974. The 
value of the catch has more than doubled from $101 milidon=/ 
in 1970 to $256 million in 1974. The expansion is primarily 
attributable to the increased number of fish caught for in- 
dustrial purposes, made possible by improvements in fishing 
methods. 
The 1974 Danish catch consisted of 293.2 million pounds 
Of cod, 7722, maiaiivony pounds lof; pllance,§ 7/0) 52mosaion" pounds) Oe 
mussels, 52.9 million pounds of herring, and 3.3 billion 
pounds of miscellaneous species to be used for reduction 
purposes. 
In addition to the above, foreign fishermen landed ap- 
proximately 348.3 million pounds of fish in Denmark, valued 
at $41 million, which were caught off Denmark's coastal 
waters. 
PROCESSING FACILITIES 
The Danish fishing industry adopted the common grading 
system after EEC entry. This was facilitated by legislation 
and by the surveillance of the Fisheries Inspectorate. The 
introduction of special legislation with sanctions of fine 
or imprisonment also aided the rapid adoption of the Common 
Fisheries Policy in grading. The widespread Fisheries 
Inspectorate made surveillance and compliance a relatively 
simple matter. 
While there was little enthusiasm among processors for 
the grading regulations, the Danish industry is used to 
stringent quality controls. Throughout all their operations 
regulations govern the construction of their plants, the 
bleeding and boxing of fish, and the conditions and form of 
the final product, particularly when they are destined for 
ree consistency, we selected the following conversion rates 
and applied them throughout the Denmark profile.
