Fish Conservation strengthen fisheries
To restore or maintain viable fish stocks supporting the provincial government a large number of fish conservation projects. We allocate state fish conservation subsidies, fishing fees contributions and support EU money to be used for fish conservation measures. We review applications for permission to plant out fish and crayfish. We want to prevent the spread of fish diseases, and to ensure that undesirable species and strains of fish coming to the county’s water.
County Board coordinates and conducts test fisheries to follow fish stocks. In addition, we use the opportunities that exist in the legislation to protect fish habitat.
Recreational fishing is favored by fish conservation
Sweden are very good conditions for many types of recreational fishing, from fishing in the surrounding seas and along the shores of lakes and streams from South to North. Species such as trout, salmon, cod, mackerel, trout, grayling, perch, walleye and northern pike are important species for fishing.
The County Administrative Board is responsible for the regional development of recreational fishing and working for good fishing opportunities by forming fishing areas that sell fishing licenses for lakes and rivers. The fishing management increases the chances of good catches, and the County Board appoints fishing supervisors with information about fishing regulations and ensure that they are followed.
Through improved fisheries management, resources will be preserved and the public’s opportunities to fish increase. Measures for the conservation of endangered species and strains occur including by fishing supervision, biotope measures the priority and to fiskevårdsområden formed. County Board will also work with the fisheries sector is restructured so that the conditions exist for a competitive industry.
On svenskafiskeregler.se (link below), you can take part of the rules that apply to recreational fishing in Swedish seas and the country’s five largest lakes (Vänern, Vättern, Mälaren, Hjälmaren and Storsjön).
Recreational fishing on Gotland
Fishing around Gotland coasts are vulnerable, not least during the fish spawning season. The Fisheries Act ( SFS 1993: 787
) and the Regulation on Fisheries, Aquaculture and Fisheries ( SFS 1994: 1716 ) are the basic rules.
In addition to these offers of Fisheries issued special regulations, including on fishing in the Baltic (FIFS 1993: 31) and Fiskeriverkets regulations delineate gear (FIFS 1994: 14).
To make it easier for you as anglers we have made a booklet, Fishing Gotland
