Monitoring enable assessment of all primary criterias, however the spatial resolution should be improved in some basins. By using data on activities and pressures the aim is to combine these data together with data on fish to be able to assess D1C5. Coastal fish – Gaps for D1C2 were identified in the IA 2018 in some basins, but have since been improved. A revision of the programme has been carried out to improve data used for status assessment. More data on certain species like pike, vendace and grayling are needed to improve the confidence. Offshore fish - BITS and IBTS are being developed within ICES, especially to provide data on fish on an ecosystem level. In the monitoring of commercial fisheries there´s a common aim to intensify and deepen the cooperation between countries using regional plans. Methods are developed in ICES WGCATCH, and coordination of data management in RCG Baltic, RCG North Sea and Eastern Arctic. Migratory fish – The number of salmon monitoring locations is evaluated continously due to habitat restorations and removing migration barriers. Eel is partly monitored using data from commercial fisheries, but since no new licencies are approved this data flow will eventually stop and need to be replaced with monitoring. We are collaborating with DK to tag eels in the Baltic sea and monitor them in the Sound and Danish straits to learn where eels migrate. Health status - After reports of sick fish with leisures in Hanöbukten the Swedish gouvernment appointed SwAM to investigate this further and to find the causes. Monitoring of flounder started in 2016 and was later included in the programme. To add more wild fish species, crayfish and molluscs new monitoring started in 2020. Recreational fishing – A pilot study (2017-2019) found that the main part of cod catches in southern Baltic Sea and the Sound comes from recreational fishing in the Sound. The monitoring will therefore focus on this during 2020-2021. SwAM is also collaborating with SLU to develop a longterm plan for monitoring of recreational fishing. Bycatch – Monitoring is being improved thanks to a number of ongoing projects. These are complementing the regular monitoring of commersial fisheries discards, where human observers are used, but where numbers are too low to enable a confident assessment of D1C1. Cameras onboard are therefore being tested as a complement to the observers.

We are collaborating with DK to tag eels in the Baltic sea and monitor them in the Sound and Danish straits to learn where eels migrate. Health status - After reports of sick fish with leisures in Hanöbukten the Swedish gouvernment appointed SwAM to investigate this further and to find the causes. Monitoring of flounder started in 2016 and was later included in the programme. To add more wild fish species, crayfish and molluscs new monitoring started in 2020. Recreational fishing – A pilot study (2017-2019) found that the main part of cod catches in southern Baltic Sea and the Sound comes from recreational fishing in the Sound. The monitoring will therefore focus on this during 2020-2021. SwAM is also collaborating with SLU to develop a longterm plan for monitoring of recreational fishing. Bycatch – Monitoring is being improved thanks to a number of ongoing projects. These are complementing the regular monitoring of commersial fisheries discards, where human observers are used, but where numbers are too low to enable a confident assessment of D1C1. Cameras onboard are therefore being tested as a complement to the observers.

Monitoring enable assessment of all primary criterias, however the spatial resolution should be improved in some basins. By using data on activities and pressures the aim is to combine these data together with data on fish to be able to assess D1C5. Coastal fish – Gaps for D1C2 were identified in the IA 2018 in some basins, but have since been improved. A revision of the programme has been carried out to improve data used for status assessment. More data on certain species like pike, vendace and grayling are needed to improve the confidence. Offshore fish - BITS and IBTS are being developed within ICES, especially to provide data on fish on an ecosystem level. In the monitoring of commercial fisheries there´s a common aim to intensify and deepen the cooperation between countries using regional plans. Methods are developed in ICES WGCATCH, and coordination of data management in RCG Baltic, RCG North Sea and Eastern Arctic. Migratory fish – The number of salmon monitoring locations is evaluated continously due to habitat restorations and removing migration barriers. Eel is partly monitored using data from commercial fisheries, but since no new licencies are approved this data flow will eventually stop and need to be replaced with monitoring.

Monitoring enable assessment of all primary criterias, however the spatial resolution should be improved in some basins. By using data on activities and pressures the aim is to combine these data together with data on fish to be able to assess D1C5. Coastal fish – Gaps for D1C2 were identified in the IA 2018 in some basins, but have since been improved. A revision of the programme has been carried out to improve data used for status assessment. More data on certain species like pike, vendace and grayling are needed to improve the confidence. Offshore fish - BITS and IBTS are being developed within ICES, especially to provide data on fish on an ecosystem level. In the monitoring of commercial fisheries there´s a common aim to intensify and deepen the cooperation between countries using regional plans. Methods are developed in ICES WGCATCH, and coordination of data management in RCG Baltic, RCG North Sea and Eastern Arctic. Migratory fish – The number of salmon monitoring locations is evaluated continously due to habitat restorations and removing migration barriers. Eel is partly monitored using data from commercial fisheries, but since no new licencies are approved this data flow will eventually stop and need to be replaced with monitoring. We are collaborating with DK to tag eels in the Baltic sea and monitor them in the Sound and Danish straits to learn where eels migrate. Health status - After reports of sick fish with leisures in Hanöbukten the Swedish gouvernment appointed SwAM to investigate this further and to find the causes. Monitoring of flounder started in 2016 and was later included in the programme. To add more wild fish species, crayfish and molluscs new monitoring started in 2020. Recreational fishing – A pilot study (2017-2019) found that the main part of cod catches in southern Baltic Sea and the Sound comes from recreational fishing in the Sound. The monitoring will therefore focus on this during 2020-2021. SwAM is also collaborating with SLU to develop a longterm plan for monitoring of recreational fishing. Bycatch – Monitoring is being improved thanks to a number of ongoing projects. These are complementing the regular monitoring of commersial fisheries discards, where human observers are used, but where numbers are too low to enable a confident assessment of D1C1. Cameras onboard are therefore being tested as a complement to the observers.
