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.
Fish monitoring (fishing surveys) is regarded as animal experimentation according to Swedish legislation. In order to sample fish for monitoring purposes you need an approved application for animal experimentation and you also need to have requisite education and training. Welcome to study at the Department of Aquatic Resources!
SLU arranges courses in fish monitoring, using four different techniques: Electro-fishing, Multi-mesh gillnets, Trawling + hydroacoustics and Other methods.
In order to participate in our fish monitoring courses, you need to pass the course Swedish Legislation, Ethics and Animal Use. This course is included when you log into the learning platform.
