Management of fish resources
The key objective of the Fishing Act is to regulate fishing rights and methods, the management of fish stocks and the fisheries administration in terms of the use and management of fish resources.
In the 2010 Red List assessment of threatened fish species in Finland, critically endangered species include landlocked Atlantic salmon, sea trout, grayling in the Baltic Sea and Arctic charr living in Lake Saimaa. The status of migratory fish stocks must be improved by protecting and improving habitats, building fish passages, controlling fishery and stocking fish.
