| Lisätietoa: | Report 7 (VII) Abstract Salmon catch data from sea fishing since the year 1966 indicate remarkable annual variations for all the municipalities in Finnmark. One important reason to this variation is the method used to collect annual catch data. Nowadays, all salmon fishermen must report their daily catches divided in numbers and weights for small, medium and large salmon. The fishing method used, bag net or bend net, must also be informed about. This improvement in catch reporting took place in the year 1993. Before 1993, fishermen had to inform catches in two size groups namely below 4 and above 4 kilos. Salmon catches were exceptionally large in the period from the last years of the 1970’s to the middle of 1980’s in the municipalities Loppa, Hasvik, Hammerfest, Kvalsund, Måsøy and Nordkapp. A reason for that was the high salmon catches caught with driftnet fishing in the outer coast, west from Nordkapp. After driftnet fishery was prohibited in 1988 total catches declined. Salmon catches have been clearly better in some municipality areas than in other areas. Good catches in some areas indicate high numbers of fishers combined with good fishing sites in the outer coastal areas. In general, salmon catches have in the long-term declined in most of the municipalities. |
