intendant or inspector, and the west coast provinces of Halland and Bohus, which have 

 hitherto been somewhat independent, are now taken together as one district. 



Information from the statistics 

 Only in a few instances, is it possible to state the quantities of fish landed, in most 

 cases only the values are given and several species are combined together. 



The total value of all the Swedish sea-fisheries in 1902 was at least 5,531,000 Kroner, ^ai^e of the 



Swedish west 



and of this sum ca. 3,500,000 Kroner came from the fisheries in the Kattegat, Skager Kak coast fisheries 

 and North Sea. Of the latter sum, ca. 1,300,000 Kroner came from the deep-sea and 

 mackerel fisheries in the Skager Kak and North Sea, the remainder from the Kattegat and 

 immediate neighbourhood of the ßohuslän coast. The following table will give a general 

 notion of the value of the several fisheries. 



Table I. Value of the Fisheries on the west coast of Sweden ' 



(Bohuslän and the province of Halland) 



N.B. 18 kroner = ca. 20 shillings. 



The column with cod etc. means several different species. It includes the deep-sea Notes on the 

 fishing of the Bohuslän cutters, a portion of the coast-fishei-y of the same province and a 

 portion of the fishery from the province of Halland. In these cases, it is impossible to se- ' 



parate the one species from the other in the statistics, so that they have all been combined. 



The deep-sea fishing brings in chiefly cod and ling, the latter mostly from Shetland. 

 Haddock and halibut with other species are also obtained, but apparently in relatively small 

 quantities. These are also included under the one heading and the quantities are not stated. 



The coast-fishery from small boats has increased within recent years. The species 

 taken are the cod, haddock, eel and flatfish. The cod and the haddock are here taken 

 together, the remaining species are comparatively little in amount. 



' The total value includes all fisheries of Bohuslän and Halland. The year for Bohuslän begins with 

 April 1='; the year in which the nine months fall, is used in the above table. 



The Kattegat fLsliing from the province of Malniobus is not included. Its value was 90,000 kroner in 

 1901 and 99,000 kroner in 1902. Plaice is the chief species taken.
