Activities
The aim of the Fish Resource Research Department is to create a scientific basis for sustainable use of fish resources in the waters in Latvia (The Baltic Sea, Gulf of Riga and inland waters). The department accounts and assesses the resources of internationally regulated fish species and examines unregulated fish stock and its condition in natural sea and inland waters. The Fish Resources Research Department evaluates the influence of fishing, angling and the environmental conditions of fish stock and biological diversity. It also ensures the monitoring of fishing fleet, fish processing and aquaculture operations and provides economic assessment.
The principal task of the Fish Resource Research Department is to ensure the implementation of “The Latvian National Plan for Collection of Fisheries Data” funded by the European Maritime and Fisheries fund, and the agreement on the research of fish resources in Latvia which has been concluded with the Ministry of Agriculture by collecting, summarizing and analyzing the biological, fishing and economic data.
