The project examines the role of the Fish Revolution for a range of inter-related aspects of North Atlantic history, with NorFish’s interdisciplinary team drawing on archaeology, history, cartography, geography, and ecology to develop interpretative frameworks that synthesise a broad spectrum of source data to assess the overall objective of the project. NorFish’s interdisciplinary team draws on archaeology, history, cartography, geography, and ecology to assess the objectives of the project. more The Icelandic Fisheries were highly productive and drew attention from both domestic and various foreign markets. While the gear deployed and the methods used for fishing did not vary significantly during the early modern period, there were several influences on the industry that impacted either negatively or positively. For instance, human intervention in the standard fishing practices, such as acts of war, market pressures, etc. led to variability in the total catches that were made on an annual basis. Natural influences were an issue as well; fish migration and stock levels, weather/climate conditions, etc. played their part in the types of inconsistencies that pervaded the era.
