Esbjerg fishermen, who up to 1956 had been the sole catchers of launce in the North Sea, were in 1957 joined by both German and Norwegian boats. From the German side about 100 boats take part in the fishery, while the Norwegians have 10 or so trawlers and the factoryship Havkvern fishing for .launce in the North Sea.

Keysler) specializing in whaling stations and other machin- ery connected with the fishing industry. According to the engineer, tests recently car- ried out at Cuxhaven on fat fish waste have proved successfully that it is possible to convey fish waste over long distances through pipelines by use of the new pump. It is at present customary to conv
