The fish book is open

It's opened The fish book but the book is information about the main commercial fish, information about their catch, such as fishing areas, what time of year they are caught and the main fishing gear. With this electronic version of the Fish Book, it is possible to present a variety of information about fish and fish products, education and research related to them in a much more efficient and diverse way than is possible in a printed book.

The fish book is prepared in collaboration with Íslandsstofa, Association of Fish Processing Plants, now an association of companies in the fisheries sector (SFS), and Iceland Seafood International with support AVS Fisheries Research Fund.

The Fish Book was opened in the middle of a presentation by Matís employees on the multiplication of values for export to the Minister of Fisheries and Agriculture present at the conference Matvælalandinu in the last week.

Fiskbókin is the second in a series of electronic books from Matís than before The meat book been placed in the air.

The book is open to everyone for free use, however, the source should be mentioned if information from the book is used in any other publication. The book is stored in such a way that it can be printed out in its entirety, selected chapters or individual pages and used as part of promotional material. Each individual page is marked as the source and its content is unchanged.
