The fishing was somehow strange, relatively few cods were caught but many catfish. We fished 16.489 kg of fish over the five days, 6.188 kg of Cod, 3.544 kg of Coalfish, 3.483 kg of Haddock, 1.461 kg of Whiting, 920 kg of Catfish, 487 kg of Dab and 406 kg of Redfish. We also fished few Long Rough Dab, Plaice, Thorny Skate, Tusk, Ling and Shorthorn Sculpin.

We hope all those attending Dalvik 2010 had a pleasant time here in Iceland and had a safe trip home. We look forward to see you all at the next EFSA Championships.
