The principal sources of information as to the tishfauna of 

 Trondhjem Fjord are: 



V. Storm: Bidrag til Knndskab om Trondhjemsfjordens 

 Fauna, V. (Fiske) D. kgl. n. vid. selsk. skr. 1883. 



Knut Dahl: Beretning om Fiskeriundersøgelser i og om 

 Trondhjemsfjorden 1898. D. kgl. n. vid. selsk. skr. 1898, nr. 10. 



Gust. Swenander: Bidrag till kånnedomen om Trondhjems- 

 fjordens fiskar. D. kgl. n. vid. selsk. skr. 1905, nr. 9. 



Dr. Swenander gives 118 species of lish; his list, however, 

 includes some few not recorded witb certainly as having been 

 found in Trondhjem Fjord itself. In point of number, the present 

 writer will naturally have but little to add, albeit since 1905 

 some further finds have been made, and species brought to light 

 which are new to the fauna of the fjord. The following pagcs 

 will be mainly devoted to placing on record observations con- 

 cerning species already known. The work already done by 

 previous investigators in this field is both extensive and valuable; 

 it was nevertheless desirable that the ichtyological study of these 

 waters should be continued, among other reasons on account of 

 the economical importance of the fishery. 



As regards terminology, I have in the main adhered to thai 

 employed by Collett in his latest » Meddelelser om Norges 

 fiske «. The English names are those given in the Catalogue 

 (II Ed.) issued by the International Commission for Invesligation 

 of the Sea (Gons. perm. intern, pour lexplor. de la mer, Publ. 

 de Circonstance, no. 12, Copenhague 1914). For the Norwegian, 

 I have used the local terms in general use among the fishermen.
