Fisheries Impacts on North Atlantic Ecosystems: Catch, Effort and National/Regional Data Sets
Faroese Waters: Environment, Biology, Fisheries and Management
Jákup Reinert
The Faroese Fisheries LaboratoryAbstract
The annual marine resources status report produced by the Faroese Fisheries Laboratory (available at www.frs.fo under the title ‘Fiskastovnar og Umhvørvi 1998’) contains a useful overview of the environment and fish stocks of Faroese waters. Unfortunately, the text is in Faroese, which makes it difficult to read by non-Faroese speaking people. This presents a summary of said report, including legends for those of its tables and figures not reproduced here. This account thus presents an overview of the marine environment, and fisheries and fisheries management measures, including allocated effort quotas and spatial management patterns.
