This book comprises two parts The first part, which is translated into English and contains an abstract of tables showing the produce of the Nor- wegian Fishing Industry during the 16 years from 1866 to 1881, has been prepared for the International Exhibition of Fisheries in London, where the present work will appear. The second part, composed in the Norwegian language, contains specified statistical tables of the fisheries for 1881, according to the same plan, that has been followed since 1876, consisting partly of the statistical tables them- selves, partly of more or less specified reports from different authorities regarding the fisheries.
