Technical Leaflets in Fisheries

This page contains summaries (Technical Leaflets) of Fisheries research projects that have been made under the 5th and 6th Framework programmes.The subjects of the summaries are related to the theme of the Baltic Sea Fisheries Workshop in Vilnius (Lithuania), the Technical Conservation Measures Workshop in Dublin (Ireland), the Mediterranean Fisheries in Marseille (France), the North Sea Fisheries workshop in Copenhagen (Denmark) and the Integrating Fisheries & Aquaculture with Marine Environment Protection in Vigo (Spain).
