LICENSE FOR FISH/FISHING IN KATTEGATT

 Stocks of cod and many other fish species are at historically low levels in the Kattegatt and Öresund. The introduction of the fishing-free area in the southern Kattegat initially showed positive signs for cod and crayfish, but cod has since declined again. Other positive signs are that the stock of plaice in the Kattegat is increasing. Coastal stocks are dominated by flounder and there are a lot of shore crabs, while the predatory fish are few and small.

Cod stocks in the Kattegatt increased from very low levels in the late 2000s partly as a result of the no-fishing area and technical regulations. In recent years, however, the stock has shown a declining trend again. It is now at the lowest level ever measured. Gray whiting in the Kattegatt, which belongs to the same stock as that in the Skagerrak, has increased since the bottom in the early 1990s but only to about half the levels in the mid-1970s.




The stock of plaice in the Kattegatt and Öresund has increased steadily since 2009 and is now at a level that is almost three times higher than the stock was in the late 1990s. Plaice has also increased in abundance in shallow coastal areas. Spring and autumn spawning herring belong to the same stock as those in the Skagerrak and show the same development in the North Sea as a whole.

In shallow water, the fish community is dominated by eel, kelp, flounder, cod and flounder. In the test fish on the Kattegatt coast, kelp, plaice, flounder and bull flounder have increased in abundance, as has the shore crab, which in some areas is the completely dominant species.

Species on the Species Data Bank's red list that occur are eel, seven-back, catfish, monkfish, haddock, halibut, turbot, hake, lyre cod, cod and whiting.

Oscar Fish Care Guide

Oscar Fish Care Guide The Oscar fish, scientifically known as Astronotus Ocellatus or commonly known as River Dog or Dog Fish, is one of the largest South American cichlids reaching approximately 12 inches in length and is a fascinating fish to keep as a pet.  Oscars are very docile fish in relation to their owner, but you have to be very careful around your tank mates. They are not very difficult to care for, so many aquarists who can afford a large tank and love cichlids start by keeping Oscars. tank requirements First of all, being so large, Oscars will need a very large tank, 125 gallons minimum for one fish or a pair.  Like all fish, the water must be very clean, so you must use a very powerful filter, since fish that big produce a lot of waste. Oscars are tropical fish, which means they like their water to be between 72 and 77 degrees Fahrenheit and do well in slightly acidic water with a pH between 6.5 and 7.2. They prefer weak water movement, but you should use at lea...
