Total marine fisheries extractions by country in the Baltic Sea: 1950-present, Rossing, Booth and Zeller 85 BALTIC SEA FISHERIES CATCHES FOR FINLAND (1950-2007) 1 Peter Rossing, Sarah Bale, Sarah Harper and Dirk Zeller Sea Around Us Project, Fisheries Centre University of British Columbia, 2202 Main Mall, Vancouver, B.C., V6T 1Z4, Canada p.rossing@fisheries.ubc.ca; s.bale@fisheries.ubc.ca; s.harper@fisheries.ubc.ca ; s.booth@fisheries.ubc.ca; d.zeller@fisheries.ubc.ca ABSTRACT This study estimates total marine and brackish-water catches made by Finland in the Baltic Sea from 1950-2007. We used ICES electronic database landing statistics as the officially-reported data baseline, and then added ‗adjustments‘ to reported landings (from various sources including the Finnish Game and Fisheries Research Institute) as well as estimates of unreported landings, discards, and recreational catches. The total of these components represents reconstructed total catches and provides a more comprehensive view of the total exploitation of marine resources. We believe these estimates are underestimates due to our conservative estimation procedures. ICES landing statistics report 4.5 million tonnes of marine landings from 1950-2007, our reconstruction estimates the total catch to be 29% higher (5.8 million tonnes). The majority of this discrepancy is due to unreported landings and discarding of herring (Clupea harengus), while cod (Gadus morhua) catches are low compared to other Baltic countries. Finland has recorded recreational fishing since 1953, although it is not known whether they submit estimates of unreported landings or discards (other than seal-induced discards). In an effort to contribute to better management of Baltic fish stocks and the Baltic Sea ecosystem, Finland could allocate more resources towards decreasing the amount of unreported catches and discards. INTRODUCTION The Nordic Republic of Finland has borders with Sweden, Russia and Norway, and with Estonia to the south across the Gulf of Finland (Figure 1). With a population of 5,329,000 and an area of 302,348 km 2 (Anon., 2009), Finland is the third least densely populated country in the European Union after Norway and Iceland. Finland entered into a free trade agreement with the European Community (EC) in 1973, before experiencing a significant economic recession in the early 1990s. Finland joined the European Union (EU) in 1995, however, and has since developed into a highly-industrialized free-market economy (Melender and Repo, 2006). Finnish fisheries can be divided into five main sectors: 1) commercial marine; 2) commercial inland; 3) recreational or subsistence in both inshore marine and inland lakes; 4) small-scale marine; and 5) aquaculture. The recreational fishing sector is relatively more important in Finland than in other Scandinavian countries as about half of marine landings are accounted for by recreational fishers, when herring catches are excluded (FAO, 2005). Aquaculture also supplies a substantial portion of fish for human consumption, particularly since the late 1980s when the quality of the Baltic environment and many fish stocks began to decline (Setälä et al., 1998). Our paper, however, will address only wild fisheries catches taken in marine and brackish-water. Table 1. Percent distribution (%) of Finland‘s reported landings by ICES subdivision, by decade.
