“Want to change the laxfiskeregler – Canada model”
“the Rules around how much salmon may be fished in the Swedish rivers should be adapted to how many salmon rise in the rivers during the fishing season, like Sportsmen, reports Swedish Radio’s Ekot.”
“In some of the 16 Swedish rivers are now with the help of fiskeräknare in real time, how many salmon are returning up in their födelseälvar for play during the spring and summer. This makes it possible with short notice to change the local rules for the amount of fish anglers may take up.”
“In Canada, already practiced this type of rules and the country is highlighted as a role model.”
” During the year, they can change the rules. If they see that it does not recur, so much the salmon so they see immediately that here we have a problem and need to intervene directly. Or they can turn on the fishing if they see that now it will very lax, ” says Glenn Douglas from the organization Sportsmen, to the radio.”
“But at the Marine and water authority, which has ultimate influence over the salmon fisheries in Sweden, it is doubtful a similar national regulatory system like Canada’s. Since the period when the salmon rises in the Östersjöälvarna is short, it will be difficult for the agency to handle, mean it.”
