Storsildundersøkelsene i Nord-Norge 1964
The herring spawning in the West Fjord late March/April 1963 were located during the following summer off the Røst Bank. The fishermen lost contact with this herring in the middle of August, but it was again discovered late September 60 miles north of Torsvåg. The herring concentrated in the Deep of...

The herring spawning in the West Fjord late March/April 1963 were located during the following summer off the Røst Bank. The fishermen lost contact with this herring in the middle of August, but it was again discovered late September 60 miles north of Torsvåg. The herring concentrated in the Deep of Iiigøy in October anel remained there til the end of January 1964. It immigrated the West Fjord for spawning by the end of February and the beginning of March. The total catch in the West Fjord was about 1 500 000 hl which amounts to half of the total output of the winter herring fisheries. In the summer of 1964 a mixture of fat herring and mature herring was located 100-200 miles to the northwest of Andenes, where USSR drifters made good catches till the end of September. The map Fig. 1 shows the area covered by R/V «Johan Hjort» 23. October - 2. November, the surface temperature, the hydrographical section taken during the cruise, and the herring schools located.
