Fishery Biology
and Aqauculture
The
commercial fishery of today is dependent
on a few species. Stock sizes of several
of these economically very important
species are now reduced beyond secure
biological levels, i.e. reduced to a
non-sustainable level. Recently attention
has also been drawn to ecological
consequences of fisheries such as possible
negative impact on sea bottom and large
amounts of by-catches. A growing problem
for the small inshore fishery is damages
on fishing gear caused by seals and
cormorants.
To
facilitate the recovery of weak
populations it is necessary to develop
selective gear, new fisheries on
alternative species and to develop and
evaluate possible models for sustainable
management.
At TMBL there are several research projects running on fishery and aqauculture.

Industrial
interest and regional effects
Research and development at TMBL has
contributed to the establishment of new
industries within Fishery and Aquaculture.
As examples can be mentioned the long-line
culture of bluemussel (Mytilus
edulis) and the pot fishery for
Norwegian lobster (Nephrops
norvegicus), on the Swedish west
coast.
TMBL works for the promotion of exchange of knowledge and competence between research, fishing industry and authorities. As a result of this initiative there is an increased co-operation between scientists and fishermen, e.g. concerning local management of the shrimp fishery in Kosterfjorden. One other result is a qualified two-year course (Maritime gastronomy) for people in restaurant and process industry under the responsibility of Kompetenscentrum i Sotenäs. Tjärnö Innovation System (TIS) also provides support for the development of research-based innovations and business projects focusing on marine applications.
