SUBMARINER Sustainable Fisheries WG Meeting: Experiences from the RoundGoby test fishing

In this session, we’ll look back at RoundGoby test fishing rounds in spring and autumn 2024.

Hear from our participating fishers and scientists on what worked well and what could be improved for the next round in spring 2025. We’ll look at the data collected regarding what methods and gear worked the best and how much round goby was actually caught. Finally, we’ll discuss what needs to change in terms of regulation and economic incentives for fishing to remain viable for small-scale coastal fishers in the future.

Sign up for the event to learn more about fishing round goby and other underutilised fish species and to discuss with different stakeholders what the future looks like for small-scale coastal fisheries in the Baltic Sea Region.
