Q5f - Description of programme for GES assessment | The monitoring supports indicators which measure the distance to GES. The monitoring is sufficient to detect the natural variability. |
As reported for Art. 9 and 10, the threshold values for GES are:
The level of pressure of the fishing activity is not exceeding MSY-level, and the reproductive capacity of the fish populations is secured.
Both sub-programmes under this programme are sufficient to produce data on target species populations which are under international regulation. The data, which is collected within the sub-programmes, gives reliable information on population dynamics caused by fishing and natural factors. The program provides information for the descriptor 3 (MSD-criteria 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3), and as for salmon, for the descriptor 1 (MSD criteria 1.2 and 1.3). The program also collects information on fishing pressure. |

No monitoring of activities
|
Fishery is widespread activity impacting primarily target fish stocks. It also affects other fish stocks, sea-birds and marine mammals due to by-catch. In Finnish waters there are no bottom touching fishing gears in use.
Fishery data is collected via EU data collection framework and catch statistics by the fishermen from the whole region. |

Q9c - Monitoring method | Spawning Whitefish, migrating to rivers in September-October, are sampled from catches caught by local fishermen. Various fishing gear are used (e.g. net and fyke) to catch a few hundred individuals per river. The samplings take place 2-3 times during each spawning season. |
Sea trout parr are caught by electro fishing, after which they are tagged and released.
