Project Details
Description
The project aims to develop an economically and biologically sustainable European lobster fishery in the Limfjorden. The European lobster is a high value product with the Limfjorden accounting for ca. 71% of all Danish landings since 2010.
However, both the status of European lobster populations and fishing pressure in the Limfjorden are currently not known. Thus, the European lobster population of the Limfjorden is not either properly exploited or managed for optimum long-term sustainable commercial and recreational fishing.
The aim of the project is to create a knowledge base on fishing pressure, lobster stock structure and distribution, an evaluation of fishing gear efficiency and impact, together with the assessment of current and potential management plans which will contribute to the implementation of sustainable management practices.
Partners
DTU Aqua (coordinator)
Two local fishermen
