Get to know one of Norway's most important and fascinating industries!
Fishing is much more than just getting seafood from the sea. It is a way of life, a culture and a driving force that keeps the coast going from Halden to Kirkenes.
Through short chapters and beautiful photographs, you will learn about which species are fished, how they are fished, and how the raw materials of the sea are turned into the world's best seafood.
You will also gain an insight into the rest of the industry, and all those who contribute from land such as shipyards, refineries, reception facilities and management.
The fisheries have shaped Norway. They taught us how to navigate the sea and laid the foundation for other marine industries. For thousands of years, we have fished, shared resources with the world and built the country.
In the media we hear about conflicts and challenges, but behind the headlines there is another story: An industry characterized by knowledge, innovation and pride.
This book is made for those of you who want to understand more of what is happening along the coast, and why the fishing industry concerns us all.
