APPENDIX J: DENMARK _ 24 — 



Table Xil. Quanlitles of Cod, Haddock and Plaice landed on the West Coast of Jutland over a period of years ' 



have increased more than fivefold. The cause of this has been the universal adoption of 

 the "snurrevaad", and the reason probably, the greater certainty of the plaice fishing, together 

 with the good price obtained and the comparative ease with which the plaice can be brought 

 alive to market. It may be mentioned here, that the same tendency is also displayed in 

 the Kattegat and other Danish waters. The plaice is, nowadays, by far the most important 

 species in the Danish fish supply. The relative importance of the various species taken on 

 the west coast of Jutland can be seen from the accompanying Table XIII.
