SUMMARY
The marking experiments with Cod at the Faroes in 1909—1937 were
dealt with by Strubberg (1916 and 1933) and Táning (1940). The present
report discusses the marking experiments with Cod west of Suðuroy
in 1952. 523 Cod were marked, 371 in June and 152 in November.
Most of these were small (Table 1). 94 Cod (18 °/o) are recaptured
(Table 2—3). One is recaptured on Faroe Bank and one on Middle
Rough in the North Sea. All the others are recaptured o£f the Faroes
(Fig. 1—8). The figures in Fig. 1—8 indicate the numbers of months in
sea after tagging. British trawlers took 49 of the recaptured Cod, and
Faroese boats 45. 48 Cod were taken by trawl, 36 by hand line, 9 by
line and 1 by seine.
