Expeditions with R/V Svea

How are fish stocks doing? What can oceanography tell us about the climate? During Svea’s expeditions, researchers, technicians, and crew work side by side to map the state of the sea. Here, you can learn more about some of our missions, and meet the people behind the scene.

SLU – monitoring fish stocks

How much fish is in the sea? To make informed decisions about fisheries, we need reliable data on stock size. A key part of that data is collected on board Svea.
