Book (stand-alone)Data collection systems and methodologies for the inland fisheries of Europe 2020
Also available in:
Inland fisheries are important sources of ecosystem services contributing to human diet, health, well-being and economies. The evaluation of the importance and value of inland fisheries is one of the biggest challenges for its development. To develop the inland fisheries data collection, we reviewed the current status of data collection in European countries and provided five detailed country examples. The specific country examples give detailed description of data collection, focusing on: 1) country-wide postal survey (Finland) and 2) web-based survey and development of citizen science approach (Denmark). Example 3) from Ireland focuses on recreational salmonid fishing and conservation limits. There are two examples based on logbook returns: 4) one strict system, which is considered to work well (Czech Republic) and 5) one less controlled system, currently not producing reliable results, and under development (Croatia). Case studies were provided in each country example. Finally, the authors discuss the important aspects of inland fisheries data collection and review the methods to provide recommendations. -
Book (series)Status and trends of inland fisheries in Europe 2025
Also available in:
No results found.Globally, inland capture fisheries continue to play crucial roles, contributing significantly to human health, livelihoods, cultural economies. Despite producing over 12 percent of the world’s fish, they face challenges such as environmental degradation and competition for water, remaining undervalued in decision-making and policy discussions. Inland fisheries remain important within Europe, where they provide food, cultural and recreational benefits and contribute to maintaining biodiversity. Total production reported to FAO in 2021 was 167 187 tonnes (1.47 percent of the global total) and the average annual consumption of inland fisheries products in Europe was 0.24 kg per capita per year. Information on inland fisheries at regional, sub-regional and national levels is also presented on fishing, fisheries and fisheries management from FAO and other sources. Priorities for responsible management are identified, drawing on the evidence from regional and global assessments. These priorities include strengthening the evidence base, including both the status of fish stocks and the social and economic benefits they provide, advancing an ecosystem approach to management through stewardship and care and considering the role of fisheries within wider landscape and catchment planning. Acknowledging the roles and importance of inland capture fisheries is critical to ensuring that inland fisheries continue to support livelihoods and cultural heritage and drive positive transformations. -
