the heart and gills, are first removed. The herring is then laid
in barrels in layers with salt between. The barrels are carried to
the storing-places, where the herring is sorted, and again laid in
barrels with brine. There are many degrees in the goodness and
value of the salted herring, varying according to the care and
exactitude with which the salting is performed.
The exportation of Norwegian herring is chiefly from Bergen,
Haugesund, Trondhjem and Stavanger, to Germany, Sweden and
Russia.
MACKEREL FISHING,
in the nineties, has yielded results varying from 1,117,000 mackerels
(value kr. 194,000) in 1896, to 5,381,000 mackerels (value kr. 659,000)
in 1891.
The mackerel (Scomber scombrus) is rare north of the
Trondhjem Fjord, arid is fished partly in the Skagerak and the fjords
off it, partly in the North Sea by large boats. In the summer of
1894, for instance, 426 vessels with 2920 men were fishing in the
North Sea. In the fjords, the mackerel is only found in the
summer, when on a spawning migration, and it is then caught either
with lines baited with herring, or with nets, or it is shut into
bays and taken with seine-nets.
Until 50 years ago, the
SALMON FISHERIES
were principally river fisheries. Circumstances underwent a change
on the introduction of the bag-net, a wedge-shaped net, made
permanently fast. In the year 1896, for instance, the proceeds of
the river salmon-fisheries were kr. 224,688, but of the sea-fisheries
kr. 845,291, total, kr. 1,069,979, to which must be added about
kr. 200,000 paid by sportsmen for the renting of rivers.
The salmon is fished all along the coast, from the 1st May
to the end of August. The best districts have hitherto been the
Trondhjem and Bergen counties.
Fishing in the rivers is carried on partly with rod as a sport,
but chiefly with seine-nets, with which, at the mouths of rivers
especially, capital hauls may be made.
Salmon is exported via Trondhjem to Sweden, Denmark and
Germany, and via Bergen to England.
