Department of Aquatic Resources
The research of the Department of Aquatic Resources focuses on fish and shellfish in the seas, lakes and rivers. We monitor the aquatic environment, developing the methods and know-how for sustainable use of aquatic resources.

We link variation in body size and community composition to ecological and evolutionary dynamics in changing environments. In our research we combine dynamic models, experiments and analysis of
Brist på data gör det svårt att bedöma hur ryggradslösa djur påverkas av fiske
Thousands of species of invertebrates live in Kattegat and Skagerrak. Many of them may be sensitive to fishing, but a lack of data makes it difficult to evaluate how vulnerable they are. This is

Round goby – turning risk into resource
The round goby is increasingly common in Swedish waters. This invasive fish species can both outcompete and consume native species, having significant negative consequences for the ecosystem. At the
SLU's focus on food science
A significant portion of SLU's research revolves around putting food on the table. It is an ever-relevant issue in society during a time of changing climates and a need for increased food resilience.

The course Sustainability perspectives on contemporary fisheries. Where have all the fishes gone?
Are you interested in how we can combine lakes and seas full of life, with a sustainable production of blue food? In this online course, you will meet Sweden's leading experts on sustainable
Course in Principles of Fisheries Science
How much can we fish without jeopardising fish stocks and ecosystems? Fisheries science is the field that answers that question. In the course Principles of Fisheries Science you will learn all about
