  • Autumn Spawning Herring Around Faroes During Summer 1991
    ICES 1991 PAPER C.M. 19911H:50 Pelagic Fish Cttee AUTUMN SPAWNING HERRING AROUND FAROES DURING SUMMER 1991 by Jan Arge Jacobsen Fiskiranns6knarstovan N6at6n, FR-IOD T6rshavn Faroe Islands • ABSTRACT Investigations in 1990 indicated that concentrations of herring feeding in the Faroese area from May through July were similar to North Sea herring. Again in 1991 North Sea type herring was distributed in Faroese waters in May-July and approximately 16.000 tonnes fished. Results from an exploratory fishery and a research vessel survey showed, as in 1990, that the herring might be an adult part of the auturnn spawning herring in the north-western North Sea migrating into the Faroese area to feed from May to late July. However, in 1991 more by-catch of herring was reported from the mixed industrial fishery than previous years. • 2 INTRonucnoN At prcsent two different groups of hcrring can be id~ntified as occurring at Faroes, one group of Iocal summer spawners found in the fjords', (Täning 1943), and one group of autimm spawners migrating into the Faroese area from May to late July, probably from the north-western North Sea around Shetland isles (Jacobsen 1990). A new fishery on this herring has been established south-east of the isles. The catch figure for 1990 was 5.500 tonnes and the preliminary catch in 1991 amounted to 'over 16.000 tonnes. ,' , ,I".' • In 1991 Fiskiranns6knarstovan received several re ports' on by-ciltches of herring in various fisheries for othcr species arourid the Faroes during the 'spring, and the reported herring was all of the Nortll-Sea type.
