Norfish Norway Cod Fishery 1520–1791

Norway’s engagement with cod fishing has dated back to at least the Viking Age. Cod has been an important resource and a vital source of sustenance for the local population for centuries. Based on the stable isotope analysis technique, cod bones dating back to medieval times have been recovered at sites that were populated during this time; the configuration of these bones, with heads removed, strongly infers that advanced processing involving salting and/or drying took place well before the early modern period in Norway

挪威与鳕鱼捕捞的渊源至少可追溯至维京时代。数个世纪以来，鳕鱼始终是当地民众的重要资源与关键生计依托。借助稳定同位素分析技术（stable isotope analysis technique），研究人员在中世纪人类定居遗址中发掘出了同期的鳕鱼骨骼；这些骨骼均带有去除鱼头的形态特征，这有力表明，早在挪威近代早期之前，当地就已形成了涵盖盐腌或干燥工序的先进鳕鱼加工工艺。
