R.O. Rasmussen and L.C. Hamilton, 2000. The Development of Fisheries in Greenland, with Focus on Paamiut/Frederikshab and Sisimiut/Holsteinborg. Roskilde, Denmark: North Atlantic Regional Studies note: best if set in 9-point Courier font SOURCES OF DATA The data used for the statistical presentation are based on a variety of sources, requiring some remarks regarding their structure and contents. For full references to the mentioned sources, consult section 6 above. Where nothing else is specified, data are from the statistical yearbook "Gr nland," published since 1968. Until 1987 this was published by the Danish government, the Ministry of Greenland. In 1987, 1988 and 1989 it was published by the State Department. Since 1990 it has been published by Statistics Greenland, under the Greenland Home Rule government. Data regarding international fisheries in Greenland waters are from NAFO (westcoast) and ICES (eastcoast) databases. In 1973 a change in registration regarding population in Greenland takes place. Before 1973 the registration date is December 31. After 1973 the population is for January 1. Consequently the 1972 population data refer to December 31, while the 1974 data refer to January 1. are by Jan. 1. There are no raw data for 1973, so for our purposes these values were calculated as a the mean of 1972 and 1974. Data regarding value of fisheries 1951 1966 are from Mattox (1973). Data regarding volume of fisheries are from the following sources: From Mattox 1973: Value of fisheries 1951 1966; Greenland cod fisheries 1953 1963 Cod fisheries in Sisimiut and Paamiut 1951 1966 International cod fisheries 1952 1966 International shrimp fisheries 1954 1966 International other fisheries 1952 1966 From "Beretninger vedr. Gr nlands Styrtelse - Sammendrag af statistiske oplysninger om Gr nland. III": International Cod fisheries 1925 1938 From "Statistiske oplysninger om udviklingen i Gr nland 1948 1958": Greenland Shrimp fisheries 1948 1958 Greenland salmon fisheries 1948 1958 Greenland seawolf fisheries 1952 1958 From NAFO registrations of fisheries in area I: International cod fisheries 1967 1994 International shrimp fisheries 1967 1994 International salmon fisheries 1960-1994 International wolffish fisheries 1960 1994 International halibut fisheries 1959 1994 International other fisheries 1967 1994 A few data have been read from a graph in "Statistiske oplysninger om udviklingen i Gr nland 1948-1958," and are therefore not as precise as the digital information: International cod fisheries 1939 1951 Tax was introduced in Greenland in 1975, so before this year there is no registration of taxable income. There are differences in the type of registration from 1975 to 1977, and after 1977. Before 1978 the registration contains information regarding the total tax revenue and the tax percentage, so the taxable income is determined as tax divided by tax percentage. For each of the municipalities local tax percentages have been used. For Greenland an average percentage for all municipalities has been used. Due to changes in management after Home Rule took over the investment activities, it has only been possible to have data regarding public investments until 1985. Home Rule's takeover of responsibility for fisheries, and subsequently for the statistical registration of fisheries, caused some uncertainty with data in the transition period from one authority to the other. Data regarding fisheries for 1986 are not available in some cases, while there is some uncertainty connected to the available data for 1987. 1. DATASETS Data from a variety of sources, described in the previous section, were combined into Stata-format datasets used to generate the graphs and other analyses in this report. The caption for each figure identifies the corresponding dataset, which have names of the form DOFGxxxx (for Development of Fisheries in Greenland). These datasets are publically available through the North Atlantic Arc (NAArc) project Web site. Below is a list of the variables included in each dataset.
