Scope

Participants

• University of Helsinki: Sakari Kuikka, Päivi Haapasaari, Kirsi Hoviniemi
• National Institute for Health and Welfare: Jouni Tuomisto, Arja Asikainen
• University of Oulu: Timo P. Karjalainen, Simo Sarkki, Mia Pihlajamäki
• SLU: Anna Gårdmark, Jonas
• Alyne Delaney
• Stakeholders needed in the assessment: fisher's associations, agricultural/fisheries ministries in Finland, Sweden, Estonia, Denmark.

Boundaries

• Time considered: 2015 - 2040.
• Area considered: The whole Baltic Sea. For detailed herring/salmon stock modelling, only the Bothnian Sea and Gulf of Bothnia is considered.
• Policies considered: We will build and explore four integrative scenarios for the future of Baltic salmon and herring
• Outcomes considered: threats to and state of the fish stocks; impacts and governance responses

Decisions and scenarios

• Scenarios (possible internally coherent paths in the future) will be developed about 1) eutrophication, 2) dioxin releases, 3) the use of Baltic herring, and 4) salmon policy, by taking into account different political, economic, social, technical, climate change-related etc. circumstances.
  • Scenario for eutrophication
  • Scenario for herring use ----#: . How do we differentiate herring use scenario and herring policies? --Jouni (talk) 06:54, 22 April 2015 (UTC) (type: truth; paradigms: science: comment)
  • Scenario for salmon policy
  • Scenario for dioxin input to the Baltic Sea
• Salmon management
  • International agreement on fishing quota for salmon
• Herring management
  • Size-selective fishing of herring
• Knowledge actions and fish recommendations
• Agricultural policy
• Dioxin policy
• Etc

Timing

The assessment started in April 2015. The first stakeholder meeting will be in February 2016. The final results with the full decision support tool will be finalised in March 2018.

Answer

The work has just started. There is no answer yet.

Stakeholders

Who will be affected by the decisions?

• Professional fishers
• Anglers and other recreational fishers.
• Food and fish industry.
• Mink and fox farmers in Finland.
• All people utilising recreational values of the Baltic Sea (relates to eutrophication)

Dependencies

• Eutrophication: Nutrient load in the Baltic Sea (contains levels of phosphorus and nitrogen in the water in different areas and times)
• Herring fishers' commitment to the fishing restrictions ----#: . What is this exactly? --Jouni (talk) 07:19, 22 April 2015 (UTC) (type: truth; paradigms: science: comment)
• Herring population in the Baltic Sea by time and area and fish size
• Herring catch in the Baltic Sea by time and area and fish size
• Dioxin concentrations in fish in the Baltic Sea especially herring and salmon, but there is data also about other species
• Salmon population in the Baltic Sea by time and area and fish size
• Salmon catch in the Baltic Sea by time and area and fish size
• Consumers' behavour ----#: . What is this exactly? --Jouni (talk) 07:19, 22 April 2015 (UTC) (type: truth; paradigms: science: comment)

Outcomes of intrest:

• Sustainability of salmon catch ----#: . What is this exactly? --Jouni (talk) 07:19, 22 April 2015 (UTC) (type: truth; paradigms: science: comment)
• Sustainability of herring catch ----#: . What is this exactly? --Jouni (talk) 07:19, 22 April 2015 (UTC) (type: truth; paradigms: science: comment)
• Human health (health impacts of healty fish and harmful pollutants, especially dioxin)
• Social utility ----#: . This must be specified! --Jouni (talk) 06:54, 22 April 2015 (UTC) (type: truth; paradigms: science: comment)
