Scientists at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) will evaluate the importance of parasites in cod condition and survival.
One way of strengthening stocks is to construct so-called pike wetlands, but is this having any noticeable effect? Supported by BalticSea2020, this project will investigate whether pike wetlands are increasing stocks along the Baltic Sea coast.
