Fish and fisheries in the Fehmarn Belt

Project

Science Provision: Contributions to an environmental impact assessment for the planned Fehmarn-Belt crossing

This project provides in relation to the planned Fehmarn Belt Fixed Link scientific investigations, combined with base line data, about fish and fisheries dynamics in relation to the marine environment in the Western Baltic Sea fort he years 2009 to 2012.

Background and Objective

Under construction, please refer to the German version of this webpage. 

Approach

In general, the investigations will develop criteria against which, the effect on the fish popula- tions and fisheries of the Fehmarn Belt link can be assessed, evaluated and compared. 

With the scientific based methodology and approach developed and used under the present sci- ence provision contract the investigations will be able to give high qualitative and statistical robust information on important fish stocks and their relevant population dynamics, fish density and local abundance (biomass), geographical, spatial and temporal distribution, migrating patterns, recruitment dynamics, and sensitive spawning areas.

Data and Methods

Under construction, please refer to the German version of this webpage. 

Results

The results of these investigations will be published in peer reviewed articles in scientific journals.
