The administrative centre of the municipality is the village of Gryllefjord. Other larger villages in Torsken municipality include the villages of Torsken, Medby, and Flakstadvåg. The historic Torsken Church in the village of Torsken dates back to the 18th century. Ånderdalen National Park is located partially in Torsken and neighboring Tranøy municipalities. The {{convert|243|km2|adj=on}} municipality is the 310th largest by area out of the 422 municipalities in Norway. Torsken is the 401st most populous municipality in Norway with a population of 943. The municipality's population density is {{convert|4|PD/km2}} and its population has decreased by 0.6% over the last decade.[1][2] General informationThe municipality of Torsken was established on 1 January 1902 when it was separated from the municipality of Berg. The initial population of Torsken was 1,229. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, the Rødsand area of Torsken (population: 160) was transferred to the neighboring Tranøy Municipality.[3] In March 2017, the Parliament of Norway voted to merge the municipalities of Berg, Torsken, Lenvik, and Tranøy. The new municipality will encompass the whole island of Senja plus part of the mainland. The new municipality will be established on 1 January 2020 as Senja Municipality.[4][5] NameThe municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Torsken farm (Old Norse: Þoskar), since the first Torsken Church was built there. The farm is named after Torsken mountain, and that name is probably derived from Norse þo(r)skr which means "cod". (Several mountains in Norway are named after their likeness with a fish.)[6] Coat of armsThe coat of arms is from modern times; they were granted on 23 March 1990. The arms show a gold-colored anchor cross ({{lang-no|ankerkors}}) on a black background. It is a symbol for both Christianity and the importance of the local harbor. The economy of Torsken is largely dependent on its harbors and an anchor is an appropriate symbol.[7] ChurchesThe Church of Norway has one parish (sokn) within the municipality of Torsken. It is part of the Senja prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nord-Hålogaland.
EconomyMost of the inhabitants live in the fishing village of Gryllefjord in the northern part of the municipality. The second most important village is Torsken, only a few kilometers to the south. Kaldfarnes/Medby, Grunnfarnes, and Flakstadvåg are other fishing villages further south. The municipality is close to the resources of the major fishing grounds off the Vesterålen archipelago, and 2004 landed 9.8 million tons of fish with a value of {{NOK|76.3 million}} for fish-processing in Torsken, Gryllefjord, Kaldfarnes, and Grunnfarnes. Most people work in the fields of fishing or fish processing. The municipality has few productive forests, but there are some spruce trees planted in sheltered areas. In the southern parts of Torsken there is some usable farmland. There are five farms with more than {{convert|5|daa}} of agricultural land in the entire municipality (as of 1999).[8] TransportationThe Andenes–Gryllefjord Ferry that goes across the Andfjorden to Andenes on the island of Andøya is operated during about two months each summer. The road from the northern part of the municipality to Kaldfarnes, Grunnfarnes, and Flakstadvåg is far from direct. One must drive north and then east to Berg and then south to Tranøy before turning northwest and returning to Torsken. These are the only road connections from the rest of Norway to Torsken. GovernmentAll municipalities in Norway, including Torsken, are responsible for primary education (through 10th grade), outpatient health services, senior citizen services, unemployment and other social services, zoning, economic development, and municipal roads. The municipality is governed by a municipal council of elected representatives, which in turn elect a mayor.[9] The municipality falls under the Senja District Court and the Hålogaland Court of Appeal. Municipal councilThe municipal council (Kommunestyre) of Torsken is made up of 15 representatives that are elected to four year terms. Currently, the party breakdown is as follows:[10] {{Kommunestyre table|name = Torsken |start = 2015 |end = 2019 |Total = 15 |nynorsk = |Arbeiderpartiet = 9 |Fremskrittspartiet = |Høyre = |Kristelig_Folkeparti = |Senterpartiet = 6 |Sosialistisk_Venstreparti = |Venstre = |Pensjonistpartiet = |Rødt = |Grønne = |Kyst = |Kristne = |Local_Lists = |}} GeographyTorsken is a rugged area on the west coast of the island of Senja. Many different fjords cut into its mountainous coastline including Sifjorden, Selfjorden, Torskefjorden, Gryllefjorden, and Skipsfjorden. Between mountain peaks that range from {{convert|600|to|1000|m}}, there are deep valleys and narrow depressions. Many of the valleys contain marshes or lakes. The bedrock under Torsken consists mostly of gneiss and granite.[8] Climate{{Weather box|metric first= yes |single line = yes |location = Gryllefjord, Torsken |Jan mean C=-2.5 |Feb mean C=-2.5 |Mar mean C=-1.4 |Apr mean C=1.3 |May mean C=5.4 |Jun mean C=9.0 |Jul mean C=11.5 |Aug mean C=11.3 |Sep mean C=7.8 |Oct mean C=4.1 |Nov mean C=0.6 |Dec mean C=-1.6 |year mean C=3.6 |precipitation colour= |Jan precipitation mm=107 |Feb precipitation mm=93 |Mar precipitation mm=87 |Apr precipitation mm=76 |May precipitation mm=55 |Jun precipitation mm=67 |Jul precipitation mm=77 |Aug precipitation mm=91 |Sep precipitation mm=114 |Oct precipitation mm=150 |Nov precipitation mm=128 |Dec precipitation mm=130 |year precipitation mm=1175 |source 1= Norwegian Meteorological Institute[11] }} References1. ^{{cite web|title=Table: 06913: Population 1 January and population changes during the calendar year (M)|url=https://www.ssb.no/en/statbank/table/06913/|year=2018|language=Norwegian|author=Statistisk sentralbyrå|authorlink=Statistics Norway|accessdate=2018-12-10}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.ssb.no/en/statbank/table/09280/|title=09280: Area of land and fresh water (km²) (M)|language=Norwegian|author=Statistisk sentralbyrå|authorlink=Statistics Norway|accessdate=2018-12-10}} 3. ^{{cite web|first=Dag|last=Jukvam|publisher=Statistisk sentralbyrå|title=Historisk oversikt over endringer i kommune- og fylkesinndelingen|year=1999|url=http://www.ssb.no/emner/00/90/rapp_9913/rapp_9913.pdf|language=Norwegian}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://senja2020.no/|title=Senja kommune 2020|language=NOrwegian|accessdate=2017-09-09}} 5. ^{{cite news|newspaper=ABC Nyheter|url=https://www.abcnyheter.no/nyheter/politikk/2017/03/29/195291385/stortingsflertallet-gjor-fire-senja-kommuner-til-en|title=Stortingsflertallet gjør fire Senja-kommuner til én|language=Norwegian|accessdate=2017-09-09|first=Thomas|last=Vermes|date=2017-03-29}} 6. ^{{cite book|title=Norske gaardnavne: Troms amt|edition=17|authorlink=Oluf Rygh|last=Rygh|first=Oluf|publisher=W.
