Description

At the large fish markets fish landings of the important migratory fish species (Atlantic sturgeon, Atlantic salmon, seatrout and allis shad) on the large rivers and coastal waters were reported weekly, monthly and/or anually in the period 1860-1907. Data were digitalized into a database from the historic reports.

Geographic Coverage

The Netherlands, large rivers, Wadden Sea

Bounding Coordinates South West [51.2, 3.78], North East [53.65, 7.06]

Taxonomic Coverage

Most important migratory species for commercial fisheries. These species all became extinct in the 20th century due to over fishing, pollution and river regulation.

Species Salmo salar (Atlantic salmon), Acipenser sturio (Atlantic sturgeon), Alosa alosa (Allis shad)
Subspecies Salmo trutta trutta (Sea trout)

Temporal Coverage

Start Date / End Date 1858-01-01 / 1907-12-31

Sampling Methods

Large seine nets, fyke nets and drift nets (gill nets) used by commercial fishermen

Study Extent On the large rivers mainly large seine nets (zegen), fyke nets (zalmsteek) and drift nets (gill nets) were used to catch migratory species. On the Wadden Sea migratory species were mainly a by-catch of other fisheries.

Method step description:

  1. Fish landed by fisherman were sold at fish markets. The numbers (and sometimes weight) of fish were registered and reported. The reported data was digitalized into this database, with the location of the fish market and its indicative geographic coördinates.
