Institution
Section overview
Description
The Institute provides the scientific basis for a sustainable use of Baltic sea fishery resources by the European Union. Only stocks with a balanced age structure and a stable productivity can be exploited sensibly and in the long term. Simultaneously, ecosystem effects of fishing activity need to be minimised. The work of the OSF is embedded in international research programs and conventions.
