Databases

The Department of Aquatic Resources (SLU Aqua) collects, evaluates, stores and makes available data on fish and fishing. The information forms the basis for management, but is also used as research data and other reference data. On behalf of the Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management, we are data hosts for sample fishing data within national and regional environmental monitoring. We collect data for internationally coordinated stock assessment within the EU Data Collection Framework (DCF).
