59 Complele statistics are lacking respecting the prices realized for the quantities caught by motor and rowing boats; but assuming them to have been the same as for the fish landed by the decked vessels, the value (excl. curing costs) is as follow: Deck vessels 1000 kr 15 780 35199 29785 15 128 20 322 1923 192¢ i925 . . 1926 . . . . . 1927 Open boats nn) ky Te "0-163 5338 ¥:1.39 Total 1000 kr. 221736 47457 39948 20 466 27177 THE PREPARATION AND SORTING OF FISH Most of the fish is exported fully cured. The fully salted fish is washed and then dried in the open air (sun-dried). Of late, however, artificial curing has increased considerably, especially in the winter nonths, and a number of up-to-date fish-curing houses have been built 'n Reykjavik and elsewhere. In 1910 a law (cp. also law of 1922) established compulsory sort- ing of all fish for export abroad. Under this law all fish cured for export and all salted fish (whether cured or not) which is to be sold 'n the Mediterranean markets, shall be sorted into standard grades by official fish sorters under the supervision of chief fish sorters, who, moreover, shall superintend the stowing of the fish in the hold. Every shipment of fish to the above mentioned markets must be furnished with a certificate written on the back of the B/L and signed by a chief fish sorter. FISH-OIL Up to 1900 shark-fishing was extensively carried on, and train-oil constituted the chief portion of the oil export. Since the beginning of the present century, however, the catching of sharks has been gradually declining, until 1927 when only one vessel was engaged in this pur- suit. The quantities of fish-liver landed have been as follows: Cod-liver Shark-liver Total 7006 Hi, 16 982 HL. 23 988 HI. 10 683 — 13070 — 23 753 — 7152 - 10 096 — 27248 — 26108 ~ 4818 30 926 — 38179 — 5180 - 39 359 — 34282 — 1164 — 85446 — 80 716 — 563 — 81279 — 129 472 — 126 — 132 598 — 897-1900 average 1901-1905 906—1910 911—1915 1916—1920 921-1925 1926 . . . 927 .
