class, however, would also appear to have played a considerable part, which is con- 
firmed by the determinations of age from Finmarken in 1913 (vide supra). In 1913, 
these two year classes played a most important part in the yield, which entirely agrees 
with the fact that the majority of the torfisk were then over 400 gr. 
We may therefore take it as to all intents and purposes proved, that the 1904 year class 
has played an extremely important part, as compared with the other year classes, among

which exactly corresponds to the predominance of the same year class in the spring herring 
fishery for the years 1910—1913. 
Rich yield of the Finmark fishery in the years I9IO—-1913. 
The yield of the Finmark fishery for the years 1909—1913 included the following 
quantities of cod, stated in millions of kilos, and here calculated to corresponding figures 
for millions of fish:
