to time been discovered there. At the present time about twenty 
steamboats are engaged in this fishery, and they have made further 
investigations on their own account and found new grounds in many 
of the fiords between Stavanger and Bergen. 
12. Bergen Fiords. Here during åa eruise in 1905 we 
found Pandalus very numerous in Radøfjord and Radøsund, to the 
west of Bergen, at å depth of 90—100 fathoms; and å remunera- 
tive fishery has subsequently been established in these localities and 
at Gulenfjord (north of Bergen) 70—100 fathoms. (lt also oceurs 
quite commonly in the Byfjord, Herløfjord, Hjeltefjord and other 
places at depths as low as 400 meters.| 
It has also been found out in the open sea off the coast of 
Bergen, and good catches of this prawn have been had there. 
[Both at Fidsfjord, Nyhammersund and other localities in the 
South Bergenhus Amt several hundreds have been taken with the 
trawl, though the numbers were too few to hold out hopes of åa 
remunerative fishery.| 
13. Nordalsfjord near Florø. 
14. Faafjord near Moldøsund. In this and the preceding 
fiords Pandalus was found in sufficient quantities to establish a 
fishery. [It was also quite common (though in the opinion of the 
fishermen not in sufficient abundance to be worth fishing for) in å 
number of other fiords both north and south of Floroe.| 
15. Aalesund Fiords. Å very remunerative fishery has 
here been established. | 
16. Kristiansund. Å very rich ground was discovered in 
November 1902 in Kvernæsfjord inside of Kristiansund extending 
from mid-fiord between Gimnessund and Kvernæskirke round the 
point of Kvernæs in the direction of Gulsetholmen. The depth 
here was from 45—100 fathoms. Trawling resulted in a yield of 
30 liters per haul. Pandalus was also taken, though in smaller 
quantities, in Battenfjord and far up in the Sundalsfjord (70—90 
meters). 
17. Nordland. [HAaaGENsEN and O. NorpGAARD in 1900 
found quite å number of these prawns in Skjærstadfjord at åa depth
