1 That year the average catch per trawler was 13793 HI, that of other deck vessels 3533 HI. per ship. Up to 1927 most of the herring caught used to be salted for export. But that year such enormous quantities were landed, that a large por- ion was sold to factories to be devoted to the preparation of herring- oil and herring-guano. All herring to be salted for export, must be sorted by authoritative- ly appointed sorters; and if not exported within three weeks from salting, a re-sorting must take place. The herring sent to foreign mar- kets, or sold in Iceland with a view to export later on, must be fur- nished with a certificate made out by a sorter appointed by the Ice- landic government. The total export and value of salted herring during 1924—14927 will be seen from the following table: Year Quantity in tons Value in kr. 924 . . . 9386 4 882 483 1925 . . . 1679 7397 094 to26 . . . 11465 5 075 245 1997 19 627 5769 609 Some of the herring is spiced. In 1927 this variety of cured herring was exported to the value of 2442873 kr. Sweden is the chief market tor Icelandic herring. Of late factories have been established for the preparation of her- ring-oil and herring-guano; and these commodities having a much wider and surer market than the salted herring, there is every likelihood of this industry developing strongly in the near future. The total export of herring-oil in 1924—1927 will be seen from the following table: Herring-oil Value Year Tons Krénur 1924 2 568 1985 183 1925 2701 1731378 1926 . . . 2461 1 344 893 1997 6 3585 2947 313 In 1927 the export of herring-guano realized 2389 630 kr. THE FISH EXPORT The bulk of the fish is prepared with a view to foreign markets, and mainly exported fully cured, though part of it is also sent on the market half-cured or even wet-salted. From October to New Year or sometimes even longer the trawlers pursue ice-fishing and sell their catches in England. The total export of fish (excl. herring) has been:
