NOTES TO CLASS III. 



THE export of fish-products from Norway will average 170,000 tons net per year, 1-5 per cent. 

 being fresh or iced fish ; the remainder is salted, dried, pickled, spiced or smoked, fish oil, 

 roe and guano. The value of the exported fish produce will average 2 '4 million pounds 

 sterling, 5 per cent, representing iced or fresh fish. If all the fish now cured for export were 

 shipped fresh, Norway could furnish the European and transatlantic markets with about 

 500,000 tons of fresh cod and other large fish, besides herring, 2,500 tons of iced salmon, 

 mackerel, and halibut, now exported. The distance from the fish-stations, where the catch is 

 made, to the usual markets, and the lack of suitable communication between European markets 

 and the Norwegian fishing grounds, as well as the season of the year at which the fishing is 

 carried on, make it more convenient for the fishermen to sell the catch fresh to the fish-curers, 

 who then cure the fish in many different ways, suitable to the consumers abroad, who for 

 hundreds of years have been dealing with Norwegian cured fish. Only during the last 20 

 years a trade in fresh fish of the catch in summer time has sprung up ; but this trade is not 

 as yet more than 1*5 per cent, of the export.
