 Fisheries of the In the rcport of the Danish fisheries for 1902—1903, a short account is given of the 

 Kœroe Isles ßgjjgj.jgg a,t thc Faeroe Isles. It appears that the chief fishing is by hand-lines, long-lines 

 being used to a less degree. Whilst a considerable amount of fishing goes on all round 

 the coast, the most important fishing ground is on a bank to the south-west of Sudera. 



From the data to hand, 84 large sailing boats of 70 to 90 tons on the average, were 

 engaged in the fishery during 1902. The number of fishermen was about 1100. Many, 

 if not all, of these boats take part in the fishing at Iceland. The greater portion of the 

 fish caught, is sold in the salted or dried condition, and the total value of the produce in 

 the year mentioned, was over 700,000 Kroner.
