Contribution to practical studies in Faroe ferring.

Previously some information on samples of herring caught in the Faroe Area has been presented, and the question was discussed at the meetings of the ICES Committee in 1937 and 1938. Rather few analyses on Faroe herring being available before, the following new analysis may be of some value for further studies of this little known community of herring. During 1938 three samples of Faroe herring were obtained through the kindness of the skipper of an Aberdeen liner, who called at the Faroes for bait supplies. A summary of the analysis is given.
