It didn't take very long. The cod stock recovered very quickly both due, we think, to better natural conditions, but not least because we got the fishery under control and reduced the fishery so much during the first years of the 1990s. When we came to 1995-96, we had total catches of cod in the Barents Sea, the Norwegian Sea, and along the coast of Norway up higher than 700,000 tonnes again. Actually it took four, five, or six years before the stock recovered to the normal situation.
