Hållbart fiske kräver djupare kunskap om fiskpopulationer

To ensure sustainable fishing we need to know how large the fish populations are, and understand their dynamics. In his thesis, Stefan Skoglund at SLU has developed methods that increase our

No-take zones

In no-take zones, all fishing is prohibited, which allows for the protection and recovery of marine populations and environments. The Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) have monitored
