_ 69 — APPENDIX J: HOLLAND 



The fresh fish caught by long line is mainly landed in Ymuiden: till 1894, a part 

 of it was landed in Beider ; smaller quantities are occasionally landed in other places : 

 Rotterdam, Vlaardingen, Maassluis etc. 



For Held er, we have no figures of the value of the fresh fish caught by hooks and 

 landed there. The fish was not sold by auction, but "uit de hand" i. e. directly to fish- 

 merchants and no figures about that transaction were published. We only know that the 

 number of line-fishing boats landing their fish in Helder was important, till about the 

 year 1890, that it was still of some importance in the years 1892 — 94 and that after that 

 year, all the ships brought their fish to Ymuiden. The amount given for the value of the 

 longline fish landed in Helder in the years 1892 — 94, is an estimation. 



For Ymuiden, reliable figures are at hand to begin with the second half of 1896. 

 Till the end of 1898, the tables published in the "Verslag" represent the totality of the 

 fish landed in that place. In these tables, the fish caught by longlines and that caught by 

 trawl have been combined; as, however, the cod and haddock caught by trawl are placed 

 in separate columns and as the other fishes for the main leave no doubt as to the way 

 in which they were caught, it has been possible to separate each table into two: one for 

 the long-line and one for the trawl fish. The following fishes, in consequence, are consi- 

 dered as long-line fishes; Cod and Haddock (for so far as not stated that they are 

 caught by trawl). Ling, Coalfish, Halibut and Skate; moreover V4 of the Kay landed 

 (an estination based on comparison writh other years). For the years 1900 — 1903, the 

 "Verslag" gives separate figures for the long-line and for the trawl fish. 



To begin with 1899, the tables given in the "Verslag" represent a part only of the 

 fish landed in Ymuiden: the part which was sold at the Government auction. As the 

 total value of all the fish landed in Ymuiden in those years is known, the items for the 

 different fishes could be calculated on the supposition that the official auction has received 

 an equal proportion of all the kinds of fish. From the second half of 1902, all the fish 

 landed in Ymuiden, practically, is sold again at the government market. 



A small part of the fish caught by long-line and landed in fresh condition, is sold at 

 other places: Vlaardingen, Maassluis, Rotterdam etc. It is estimated to amount to 5 % 

 of the quantities landed in Vlaardingen, Ymuiden and Helder which is not too high probably. 

 It might have been quite left out and it must be considered as a "pro memoria" item only. 

 This amount, like that for Helder in the years 1892—94 and for Ymuiden (partly') in the 

 years before 1896, has been divided over the different fishes in the same proportion as the 

 mean for the three years 1896—97—98. 



c. Trawl fishery. The yearly "Verslag" gives the figures for the total amount of 

 fish caught by trawl and sold at Helder, Ymuiden, Schoveuingen, Katwijk, Noordwijk, Zandvoort 

 and Egmond. In the two latter places, no, or practically no, trawlfish was landed after 1898. 



The amount given for Holder includes (for the years after 1895) the amount of some 

 fish (anchovies, herrings etc.) not caught by trawl but sold along with the trawl fish, at 

 the municipal auction. 



For Ymuiden, the total amount of the fish landed was to be divided in two parts: 

 one for the long-line, one for the trawl-fish. For the years after 1896, this has been done
