Ida Ahlbeck Bergendahl

I have a broad interest in fish behaviour, aquatic ecology and fisheries management.

I mainly work within the EU regulated Data Collection Framework (DCF), where data on Swedish west coast salmon is collected and analyzed in the Working Group for North Atlantic Salmon, to give sientific advice on salmon fisheries management.
