| Description | |
| Summary | Hydroacoustic surveys have been conducted in the Baltic Sea internationally since 1978. The starting point was the cooperation between Sweden and the German Democratic Republic in October 1978, which produced the first acoustic estimates of total biomass of herring and sprat in the Baltic Main basin (Hakansson et al,. 1979). Since then, there has been at least one annual hydroacoustic survey for herring and sprat stocks - mainly for assessment purposes and results have been reported to ICES to be used for stock assessment (ICES. 1994a, 1995a, 1995b, Hagstrom et al., 1991). |
