The above table records the numbers of pelagic fry liberated in the different fjords 

 in different years besides also the number of cod fry of the season obtained pr. haul 

 (with the seines) in the different years and seasons. 



By means of these figures the following diagrams have been constructed.

number of cod fry pr. 

 haul in the fjords exami- 

 ned in July — August and 

 fig. 13 represents the num- 

 ber obtained pr. haul in 

 September — October. The 

 diagrams also contain in- 

 formation of the liberation 

 of fry in the different 

 fjords. 



These diagrams illu- 

 strate several important 

 facts. The results for 

 July — August clearly show 

 that the year 1904 is 

 everywhere characterised 

 by great quantities of fry 

 and also that the abun- 

 dance of fry is not pecu- 

 liar to those fjords, where 

 larvae were liberated. On 

 the contrary two of those 

 fjords, where no larvae 

 were liberated, possessed 

 great quantities of fry. 

 The following year 

 1905 was everywhere 

 characterised by poverty 

 and this poverty was 



found everywhere, 

 whether larvae had 

 been liberated or not. 

 The relative poverty 



in 1905 was greatest in the St0lefiord, where no larvae had been liberated and smallest 

 in the S0ndeledfiord, where larvae vsrere liberated both years. 



It may however be remarked that the investigations in the Sandnes and St0le Fjords 

 in 1905 were made about three weeks earlier than in the S0ndeledfjord. This fact has 

 served to make the relative occurrence of fry in the Sondeledfjord appear greater than 

 in the others. This is easily seen if we consider the results for September— October.
