that weight with that of the barrel and of the salt, has given for the weight of the salted 

 fish 93 kg. on an average. The number of herrings in a barrel being 865 on an average, 

 the result of this calculation would be that a herring weighed V9 kg. From direct weigh- 

 ing of fresh herrings it was found, however, that (on an average) 8 herrings weighed 

 together 1 kg. So this number has been used to calculate the weight of the fish as caught 

 in fresh condition. 



B. Longline fishery. Calculating the weight of the salted fish caught by the 

 long lines, the result was that the weight of the cod (and for the ling and the halibut, it 

 is about the same) filling a barrel is 110 kg. This weight, however, does not represent 

 that of the fishes as taken from the sea : 40 x 35 fishes (cod) filling 45 barrels, each 

 barrel contains about 31 fishes. This would represent a weight of 150 kg. fresh fish for 

 each barrel, the fish being estimated to weigh slightly less than 5 kg. (4*8 kg. more 

 exactly) on an average. 



For the barrel of salted haddock may be reckoned, 180 fishes as an average. 

 Calculating the average weight pro fish to be l-l kg., the weight of the fish when living 

 tilling a barrel would be ::l3 200 kg. 



For the fish caught by long line and landed in fresh condition, to calculate the weight, 

 the following estimations have been used: 



Cod. The average weight for the big ones is 5'5 kg., for the small ones 2 kg. The latter 

 weight, however, is not used, as the small cods have been landed and sold in baskets of 25 kg., 

 or (in 1903) in boxes of 30 kg. 



Haddock. Big haddocks weigh 1"5 kg., small ones 0'5 kg. (Sometimes three sizes are 

 distinguished, big ones 1"5 kg. middle-sized ones 0-66 kg., small ones 0.33 kg.) A basket 

 of haddock contains 25 kg. 



Ling weighs on an average 6 kg. 



Coalfish, weighs on an average 4 kg. 



Whiting is sold in baskets of 25 kg., in boxes of 30 kg. (in 1903). 



Halibut weighs on an average 9 kg. 



Skate weighs on an average 13'6 kg. 



Ray is sold in baskets of 25 kg., in boxes of 30 kg. (in 1903). 



C. Trawl fishery. The weight of the different trawl-fishes has been calculated as 

 follows : 



Plaice. A Weight ("wichtje") of plaice (Holder) is equal to 50 kg., a basket (Ymuiden) 

 to 25 kg.; a box (Ymuiden 1903) to 30 kg. 



Sole. 100 soles of different sizes weigh 21 kg. On an average, 100 soles are composed of 



17 big ones at 0-6 kg 8-5 kg. 



23 middle-sized ones at 0'23 kg 6'5 - 



60 small ones at O'l kg 6-0 - 



together... 100 fishes 21kg. 



Dab, Lemon-dab, flounder. Like Plaice. 



Turbot (in Helder) weighs 5 kg.; (in Ymuiden) a basket contains 25 kg., a box 30 kg. 

 Brill (in Ymuiden) a basket contains 25 kg., a box 30 kg. 

 Halibut weighs 9 kg. on an average. 

 Ray weighs 2 kg.; a basket contains 25, a box 30 kg. 

 Skate weighs 14 kg. 



Haddock caught by trawl weighs 1 kg. on au average (Helder). Those landed in Ymuiden 

 are sold in baskets containing 25 kg., or in boxes (1903) containing 50 kg.
