SLU calculates and reports emissions and uptake from Sweden's Land use, Land Use Change and Forestry sector (LULUCF).
The Department of Aquatic Resources' activities cover the entire chain from data collection and analysis to research, advice and education. It gives us unique opportunities to develop know-how about how to use the resources in our seas and freshwater in a way that is sustainable in the long term.
The Department of Aquatic Resources has a long tradition of collecting data on fish and fishing. Collection and storage of data is important for all our operations and gives us the necessary support to develop good management advice. The databases are also used as research material and reference data. Data collection is a requirement and a base for our national and international commitments and a valuable basis for our cooperation with the outside world.
The SLU's Department of Aquatic Resources are, on behalf of the Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management, data host for fish data collected in both national and regional environmental monitoring.
We participate in the International Council of Marine Research, ICES, work with stock assessment and development of biological advice to management. We also implement commitments to the EU Data Collection Regulation and delivers data to international databases such as Fish Frame, DATRAS and Intercatch. The database Fiskdata is a central database for these tasks.
