Report: Sweden can generate billions in value by shifting fisheries from feed production to food production
Approximately 70–75 percent of Swedish herring catches are used for large-scale feed production, mainly in Denmark. If Sweden shifts toward a larger share being used for food, it could generate significant value.

Key insights for reversing the negative trends in the Baltic Sea
Funding through BalticWater’s programme for research projects and pre-studies has contributed to the development of key evidence-based recommendations for effective measures for the Baltic Sea.
Every cod counts: each fish is weighed, measured and tagged
The cods in the project ReCod – release of small cod in the Baltic Sea – have now been staying at BalticWaters Fish Laboratory for over two months. During this time, they have adapted well to their new environment. They swim calmly and curiously in the tanks and show a healthy appetite, which are clear […]
