| so-called “fetsllflsporgimaalet” and
j shall try to give a little account as
3: to what light the investigations have
been able to throw on this particu
| lar stage of the herring life.
I What is “fetsild,” or rather what
i is a “Norwegian fetsild?” because
i in Iceland the “fetsild” is some
§ thing entirely different from the
| Norwegian “fetsild.” The follow
| ing would be a definition: A fetsild
1 is a herring between 20 and30
| centimetera long, without much
| roe and “milk” and with stored up
I fat as a reserve supply in larger
| cr less quantities according to what
I time of the year it was caught,
I summer, fall, winter or spring.
I!
If you ask about the age, the
answer will be from 2 y2 to 6V2
^ years old. But in the later years,
| a “fetsild” of such high age have
| been a rare thing among our obser
’ vation material. It must also have
' been rare out in the places where
| the lish were caught. In those
! years when the observations and
’ examinations have been good, the
. majority of those examined have
! been 2 y2 years.
Furthermore the “fetsild” is in
• reality a herring that has passed
■ Ihe stage of “smaasildtlorrelsin” but
is not full grown—that is not able
to reproduce itself. So far as the
young “fetsild” is concerned, there
is not even a sign of development
of the reproducing organs. In the
\ 1
1 older herring, signs of the repro
ducing organs may be detected.
If we compare this information j
with the observations we have re
garding the age of the vaarsild,
then it would appear as though we
have a complete and correct picture
of the situation. Our observations
regarding the “vaarsild” showed,
that the “varsild” very seldom
become full grown in the third
year, but that it often took place
in the fourth year. These obser
vations would suggest that the
transition from “fet3ild” to “vaar
sild” is a short one and takes place
in the fourth and fifth year. This
would give us this simple theory
that the herring lives as “fet3ild”
in the northern part of Norway un
til it begins to develop reproduc
ing organs after which they pro
ceed further south and there ap
pear as spawning herring.
This however, does not hold good.
A closer and more minute analysis
by the assistance of the scale of
the fish will give us a more cor
rect theory.
The scale of the herring does not
only serve as a means by which we
may tell the age. It la not a birth
certificate only, it is a pass where
age, information as to its growth,
as to the place where it has lived,
about its travelling, change of
place, etc.
Regarding the growth, it is quite
simple. The distance between the
two winter rings, the summer ero,
or summer belt width is the meas
ure of how much the herring has
grown. If the width is big, then the
herring has grown a great deal and
vice versa. This may be measured
and figured closely and very mi
nutely. In the register of the ex
amined herring, information as to
its growth, the length of the fish
the first winter, what it has grown
the second i3 found. These obser
vations as to the growth of the
herring will tell the future as we
learn more and more to make use
of it to be of gre3,t importance^
If we take a herring that has de
veloped into a “vaarsild” four or
five years old and compare that one
with a herring of the same age
caught further north as a “fet3ild”
before they were full grown, it
would be seen that their growth wa3
different. While the “fetsild” is
21 centimeters at the age of three,
the “vaarsild” at the same age is
24 centimeters and an inch of dif
ference in a herring i3 quite a bit.
We understand that it is not the
| three year old “fetsild” 21 centi
meters long hat develop the follow
ing year into “vaarsild”, 27—28
; centimeters long. How is this to
, be understood. The solution is this:
The hrring that grows so fast that
it becomes a “vaarsild” at the age
of four, has neither lived in the
northern part of Norway as “smaa
sild” nor as “fetsild.” It is herring
that have lived and developed on
the coast of Southern Norway, and
very likely 3pent their two first
years among the island reefs of
the western coast of Norway. Since
it is very seldom we see herring in
the third and fourth year, we are
forced to draw the conclusion that
the herring in th latater part of the
first and second part of the third
year migrate from the western
coast of Norway, and put3 out to
sea. Where will temporarily be
left unanswered, and spend a couple
of years out in the ocean.

Something similar must take
place with the herring that lives
its first years in the sea of north
ern Norway, only with this excep
tion, that thi3 particular herring
stays a year or two longer at the
coast. If the size and growth has
anything to do with the reproduc
tive organs, this is reasonable
enough. The herring that lives in
the sea of northern Norway does not
grow as fast, and it takes a year
or more longer to reach a certain
length.
These latter suppositions, in the
light of the “growth measure” of
the “vaarsild” that is 6-7-year old
have the appearance of being
true. Because in the sample of such
older herring, many individuals are
found who3e growth corresponds
with the growth which the “fetsild”
that had lived in northern Norway
waters have had. These then are
found among herring that shows
“Vestlandverst” or growth similar
to the herring on the western coast
of Norway.
However what really gives the
best answer regarding these facts
is neither observation as to age nor
account of the growth. These are
excellent and may easily be express
ed in numbers; and special investi
gation has proven that they have
objectively an important worth. Be
cause of this, these facts must be
placed in the programme as a proof
for those who have not made a per
sonal study of it. But for the per
son who has made the herring a
life study, everything that the
scale registers, things that are not
possible to write down In the col
umns of the greatest Importance.
Because the scale registers more
than the age and growth, to the
disciplined and experienced observ
er, it is more like a face that has
printed tis own story. The pas3 is
also supplied with a photograph, to
have its place in the simili.
This proceedure in examining is
in many instances binding and just
as much of a deciding factor as an
identification of a human being you
have seen and whose features you
recall from a good photograph. But
in both cases it is only of value
for the one w.ho makes the obser
vation; it is dificult for th observ
er to explain to the outsider what
it is that make's him so sure that
this photograph represents the cer
tain person, or that it does not, or
that this is the man who I saw
committed such a deed yesterday.
If we should begin to explain, we
may go into detail and explain that
the hair was dark and the nose
bent, etc., but that is not the de
ciding factor; it is not the singular
feature but the feature as a whole
that determines your decision. In
like manner with the herring and
its scales, herring that has lived a
certain number of years in one
place, secures its prints on the
scales, from that locality. And if
a person through intense study has
learned to know the so-called
“Nordnorskeprag” northern Nor
way print, it will be recognized on
| the scales, even though the her
ring may have been caught el3e
The “Nordnorskeprag” is so
