Fisheries management has been on the agenda for decades, but as conditions are altered the important aspects change. For Baltic Sea salmon the drastic decrease in off shore commercial fisheries has allowed for increased catches in coastal fisheries and a fast development of salmon trolling, both by individual anglers and recreational companies. Increased spawning runs in naturally reproducing salmon may allow for intensified angling in rivers, while in regulated rivers large quantities of salmon have been found to accumulate downstream hydropower dams. How should we manage salmon under these novel conditions?

The seminar is hosted by the Royal Swedish Academy of Agriculture and Forestry.
