Norway is a popular target for those who like sea fishing. The deep
fjords and the long coast line offer a unique variety of fishing areas.
The southwestern part of Norway borders to the North Sea. Here you can
find shallow costal areas with sand bottom combined with deep fjords. Off
the coast there are a deep area - between the coastal areas and the North
Sea plateau.
Further
north in Norway, outside Bergen and northwards, the coastal waters get
deeper, and there are even more of the small islets. Outside the mighty
riffs of Stadt goes the border between the North Sea and the Norwegian Sea.
Outside this long coastline from Stadt to Lofoten all kind of fish is
taken and here we find a lot of important spawning grounds
for some of the greatest stocks of fish in the word (the Norwegian spring
spawning herring, the northern stock of cod (skrei), coalfish, haddock,
and
more).
Moving further north and east,
Norway borders to the Barents Sea. This
is the area for many big fish stocks. Specially when the capelin comes
into the shallow waters along the coast for spawning, cod, haddock,
saith
and many other species comes to feed. This may be the ocean with
the highest density of fish - compared to any ocean in the world. As for
the rest of the country, also the northern and northeastern parts of
Norway can offer deep fjords.
