Projektmål
Long-term time-series of Atlantic salmon catches for the Baltic Sea together with environmental data will be subject to statistical analyses in order to deduce whether climatic factors are forcing long-term dynamics of salmon stock complex in the Baltic Sea area. In addition, experimental approaches will be carried out to study the impacts of ice cover related factors on behaviour and success of young salmonids. The latter results are important for the estimation of the climate change effects, such as changes in hydrology and ice processes, on northern streams and their salmonid populations.

Resultat
Resultat och påverkan
Improved knowledge on the effects of climate forcing, or in more general climate change, on salmonid fish stocks will facilitate effective and sustainable management practices in the future.
