Quantification of the early small-scale fishery in the north-eastern Baltic Sea in the late 17th century.

Historical perspectives on fisheries and related human behaviour provide valuable information on fishery resources and their exploitation, helping to more appropriately set management targets and determine relevant reference levels. In this study we analyse historical fisheries and fish trade at the...
