A similar' deduction should be made for the plaice which are caught in the Belts, 

 but included in the returns for the Kattegat. As the value of the quantities is small, about 

 20,000 Kroner annually, and has probably remained practically the same over all the 

 years considered, it has not been considered. Further, the value of the plaice fishing 

 in the Kattegat by a few cutters from the Lim Fjord, has not been included for 1898 — 1900, 

 as it is not given in the statistics. This amount is also small, comparatively speaking, 

 and like the first, has no effect on the main conclusion to be drawn from the values 

 shown in the table.

It is evident from the table, that the value of the Danish plaice fishery in the Kattegat 

 has greatly increased. The figures for the years 1889 to 1894 include the value of the 

 fishing beyond the Skaw, as already mentioned. For the sake of comparison, we may 

 deduct at least 300,000 Kroner annually from each of those years, for the fishing outside 

 the Kattegat 2. We then see that the increase in total value has been on the whole over 60 %. 



1 In the years 1889—94, are included the quantities and values of the plaice landed at the 

 Kattegat ports from the Skager Rak and North Sea. 



2 This estimate of the value to be deducted is based on a comparison of the number of cutters 

 fishing in the North Sea (see footnote, p. 9) and the values earned there for 1895, T896 and 1897 

 (see above).
