For 1903, the quantities from the Faeroes include 63,800 kg. of salted and dried cod. 

 These in the fresh condition must have weighed a great deal more, but this has not 

 been taken account of here. 



Belgium. The quantities given here represent only the salted cod brought in by 

 the line fishermen. The quantities landed by the trawlers are not stated. The same 

 equivalents as for Holland have been employed in converting the "salted" cod into "fresh". 



France. The figures given represent the quantities taken by the French fishermen 

 from the North Sea only. Previous to 1895, the returns for the North Sea were com- 

 bined with those for Iceland. 



England and Scotland. The methods are the same for both countries. The 

 cod are landed in fresh or iced condition. No distinction is made in the statistics between 

 large and small cod. The Scottish statistics, but not the English, distinguish between 

 the quantities landed by the line fishermen and those landed by the trawlers. Up to 

 1902, no distinction is made between the fish caught in the North Sea and that taken 

 elsewhere. 



7. Statistics of the herring fisheries in the North Sea 



Table XXV will give some conception of the immense quantities of herring landed 

 annually from the North Sea alone. A further hundred million kg. may be added for 

 Norwegian and Swedish herring fisheries, and another hundred for the fisheries on the 

 west coasts of Scotland and England and in the English Channel. Taking one kg. as 

 equivalent to 8 herring, we see that during 1902, about 5600 millions of herring were 

 taken within the region of the international investigations. 



Notes on the Table showing quantities of herring 

 Sweden: The herring fishery of the Kattegat and Bohuslän is not included in the 

 table, though it seems probable, according to recent researches, that the herring migrate 

 there from the North Sea and Skager Rak. The value of the fishery varies from one 

 to three million shillings. In addition to this, there is a considerable fishery for herring 

 in the Sound and Baltic. 



Norway: Norway has a large and increasingly important herring fishery along its 



I These figures are taken from the Verslag, and thus represent only the amounts sold at the 

 state auction. A considerable quantity of fish was however sold by private auction up to 1902, but 

 whether any of it came from Iceland and the Faeroes was not made known.
