Concerns over stock declines in areas where marine mixed
stock fisheries prevail such as the Baltic, have brought about international collaborations
and some developments in stock assessment.
This workshop will take forward the scene-setting work of WKTRUTTA which met in 2012. It will address key questions relating to the management of sea trout stocks in the North Atlantic and Baltic and will take advantage of the outcomes from a number of EU funded initiatives on sea trout. The inclusion of sea trout and other diadromous fish in EU policy areas including the CFP and Marine Strategy Framework Directive means that it is important to improve the methods currently available to managers to assess the status of stocks and investigate the effects of management actions.
