V. Haneson & K. Rencke, Bohusfisket. Göteborgs jubileumspublikationer 19 (Göteborg 1923) contains a short historical survey from the foundation of Gothenburg including legal and govermnental matters relating to fishing. Coverage of the period after 1809 is thin and of little interest. Much of the book is a technical description of equipment, boats and processing. This section is very richly illustrated. In another context the west-coast fisheries are observed, namely in a very broad description of agricultural workers in Sweden, G. Utterström, Jordbrukets arbetare. levnadsvillkor och arbetsliv på landsbygden från frihetstiden till mitten av 1800-talet 1-2 (Stockholm, 1947). Less than fifty pages are devoted to fishing, but the notes on sources and literature are excellent. See also G. Utterström, ‘Migratory Labour and the Herring Fisheries of Western Sweden in the 18th century’. Scandinavian Economic History Review 1959. In 1963 a history of Bohuslän was published. In a broad sense it is a political history, but one of the authors is an economic historian and he has written a part about the herring-fishery: L. Nilsson, ‘Det stora sillfisket 1752-1808’, Bohusläns historia (Uppsala 1963). In this book there are also short sections by Å. Holmberg and S. Boberg concerning fishing before 1752 and between 1808 and c1960. One aspect of herring fishing is the production of train-oil. All the works presented above discuss that topic, but one author who concentrates on it can be mentioned: A. Lindroth, ‘Om trankokerierna i Göteborgs och Bohus län under sillfiskeperioden 1747-1809’. Bohusläns fornminnes- och hembygdsförbunds årsbok. Vikarvet 1933. Other Sources and Statistical Material Source materials concerning fishing during earlier periods are very often connected with trade. From Kommerskollegium (the Swedish National Board of Trade) there are statistical series for exports and imports, Årsberättelser för utrikeshandeln, serie 2 (RA), but also other material Ämnesserier, Fiske (RA). In Göteborgs landsarkiv (the Provincial Record Office) there is similar material Göteborgs och Bohus läns länsstyrelse (County Administrative Board), Handlingar ordnade efter ämne: Fiske (GLA). At least one of the old trading houses has material on fishing: Ekman & Co’s arkiv, Handlingar rörande sillsalterierna, Diverse räkenskaper rörande silllsalterierna (GLA). Another collection of important material in the Swedish Riksarkivet RA 172
(National Archives) is the so called Kommittéarkiv for both earlier and modern times, for instance Äldre kommittéarkiv: 502, Kommissionen i Göteborg ang sillsalterier och trankokerier (salting houses and train-oil factories) and 503, Kommitterade "till beredande av ett bolag för sillfiskets idkande på djupet" (herring fishing in the deep seas). Figures on domestic consumption for earlier periods are almost always estimates. Demographic material can give information about the fishing population. For instance, the Swedish Tabellverket gives yearly data on individuals and occupations from c1750 for the parishes, for the counties and for the whole nation. From the older sources statistical data has been collected and published in printed form. Most valuable are the volumes of Historisk statistik för Sverige (Historical statistics for Sweden), Del 1. Befolkning 1720-1967 (Population), Del 2. Väderlek, lantmäteri, jordbruk, skogsbruk, fiske t.o.m. 1955 (Climate, land surveying, agriculture, forestry, fisheries -1955, Del 3. Utrikeshandel 1732-1970 (Foreign trade 1732-1970) and Statistiska översiktstabeller (Statistical survey). Exclusively for Gothenburg statistics on trade and shipping is found in I. Lind, Göteborgs handel och sjöfart 1637-1920. Göteborgs jubiléumspublikationer X. Göteborg 1923. Primary statistical material is found in several series: for the nineteenth century Commerce collegii underdåniga berättelse om Sveriges utrikes handel och sjöfart 1828-1857 (Foreign trade and shipping), Bidrag till Sveriges officiella statistik: A. Befolkning (Population), E. Inrikes sjöfart och handel 1858-1910 (Domestic trade and shipping), F. Utrikes handel och sjöfart 1858-1910 (Foreign trade and shipping). For the twentieth century statistical material is collected in Sveriges officiella statistik SOS (Official statistics of Sweden): Befolkning (Population), Handel 1911- (Foreign trade), Fiske 1914-1969 (Fisheries), Fiskestatistisk årsbok 1971- 1982 (Yearbook of Fishery Statistics), after that on fisheries Statistiska meddelanden , J Jordbruk, skogsbruk och fiske (Statistical Reports, J Agriculture, Forestry and Fishery). Information on the fisheries can also be extracted from associations and unions, for instance Göteborg och Bohusläns havsfiskeförening (published yearbooks from 1900) and Sveriges Fiskares Riksförbund. In this context yet another book can be mentioned, I. Gerhard, 173
