Abstract

Until the extension of the fishing grounds limits to 200 miles in 1977, fishing in the Faroe Islands was mainly in the distant waters. But since then the order on the sea has changed. The fishers had to transfer most of their fishing effort to the waters around the Faroes. The fleet was mainly fishing for bottom-dwelling fish like cod, haddock and saithe, a kind of pollock, and the gear used was mostly longlines and trawls. The fish catch was sent to factories ashore.
