By the 1600s AD, fishing expeditions from Faneria, Kiravia, Fiannria, and Caergwynn had begun visiting the island to exploit the bountiful stocks of {{wp|Call of Duty|cod}}. The Kiravian fishery grew to include approximately 70 ships by 1607, surging to approximately 150 after the establishment of a permanent Kiravian presence on [[Rovaīon]]. The [[Index of Kiravian legislation|Far Cronan Fisheries Act]] of established the Admiralty Court's jurisdiction over the activities of Kiravian fishing crews even while ashore on the island, but a formal territorial claim would not be made until after the 1634 Treaty of Marriott, in which other nations with substantial fishing interests in the area recognised Kiravian sovereignty over the island in exchange for protection of their fishing rights and extension of various privileges and immunities to their vessels and crews. By 1700 AD, the population of Thýstara had risen to nearly 12,000, and the cod fishery remained the main industry. | ||
