Baltic herring research project
Welcome to the Baltic Herring Research Project’s website. In this long-term research project, our aim is to investigate the physiological responses, ecological interactions, and environmental stressors affecting Baltic herring. With this work, we also aim to support the sustainable management of herring stocks and the broader conservation of the Baltic Sea. These pages showcase key results from our studies and provide some insights about the importance of Baltic herring to both the marine ecosystem and regional economies.
Watch a unique video clip of a herring spawning shoal, recorded in May 2024 using an ROV (remotely operated vehicle) camera in the inner archipelago. The footage offers a rare glimpse into the reproductive behavior of Baltic herring and provides valuable information about the condition of local spawning sites.
