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 Today, Bohuslän is a Swedish region by the Skagerrak coast between the Oslo fjord and modern Gothenburg. In the medieval period to 1658 it was ruled by Norwegian and Danish kings. The region enjoyed a large herring fishery in the second half of the 16th century. In 1658, under the Treaty of Roskilde, Bohuslän was ceded to the Swedish kingdom. Under Swedish control, commercial herring fishing grew again in the latter half of the 18th century with several fishing communities springing up along the coast.
