Table XVI shows the increase or diminution since last year (marked 

 with the sign—) in the number using the different methods. With the 

 exception of a slight increase in the Trondhjem counties, the number of 

 net-fishermen has everywhere decreased; the number of line and deep- 

 bait fishermen (hand-liners), on the contrary, has increased.
