Capelin

Norway national team (Norway)

Fun fish fact: huge shoals of capelin swim to the coast of northern Norway to spawn, and they are a key food for cod. Football: at the 1998 World Cup, Norway beat Brazil 2-1 in Marseille.

Capelin are small fish that travel in enormous shoals, and some even jump right up onto beaches to lay their eggs. They come to the coast of Norway, the team that once beat Brazil at a World Cup. This one comes past the rocks at night with thousands of friends.

On Futbol Island the capelin can be caught at:

• Lookout Rocks: Four boulders set out like stepping stones along a straight stretch of beach, in sight of the island’s old lookout. Shoals of silvery fish pass close to shore here.

Comes out at night.

Size on the island: 12–20 cm.
