Projektmål
- to study and analyse diet of seals based on samples from hunted and by-caught seals in Central Baltic area, and to produce information for a bioenergetic model of the ecological role of seals in the Baltic sea
- to gather information on the demographic structure of hunted and by-caught seals, which will be used further in a mathematical risk analysis model on the management decisions concerning Baltic seal populations
- to develop solutions and tools to diminish the conflict between seals and fisheries
