Abstract [en]
The fleet continued to age: as of end-1997, 58 per cent of the fishing vessels registered in Sweden were older than 20 years. Sweden’s vessel decommissioning scheme, which was initiated in 1995, continued.
Preliminary figures for 1997 indicate that Sweden’s total catch was marginally higher than in 1996: about 350 000 tonnes (landedweight). In value terms it increased 5 per cent, to around SEK 1 000million (ECU 117 million).
The spawning migration of salmon into the main Baltic Sea rivers was larger than in recent years. Because of steadily improving environmental conditions, the seal population increased considerably.
Exports of processed products to Europe (especially herring) continued to expand, but at a slower pace than in the previous two years.
