Fish and the fishing industry

Frontpage > Natural Resources > Fish and the fishing industry

Commercial fishery

Baltic herring is by far the most important catch species in commercial fishery. Vendace is a close second.

Recreational fishing

Fishing is a popular sport, in which almost every third Finn engages.

Fish market and fish consumption

While fish consumption by Finns is on the increase, most fish is exported.

Profitability of fishery

Of the various sectors of fishery, fish processing is the largest, both with regard to the profits that it generates and the employment it provides.

Aquaculture

Fish farming produces food and catchable fish.

Fish stocking

Stocking ensures that fish populations are preserved and fishing opportunities are available to fishermen.

Fish resources

The information on fish resources is needed for managing fish populations.

Fish and environmental changes

The Natural Resources Institute Finland produces a wide range of inventory and research data on the status and restoration of fishing waters and fish stocks.
