Fish and wildlife management
Fish and wildlife management can be improved by animal ecology research. At SLU, the research includes wildlife dynamics connected to feeding, ecological aspects on animal transfers and feeding, interactions between animals and plants, the effects of climate change on animals, humans and ecosystems. In the management hunting and fishing is included.

SLU söker sportfiskare som vill fiska för forskning
Some species of fish, such as pike and trout, are difficult to catch with the nets and fyke nets normally used in fish monitoring. Researchers at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences now
Having good neighbours and few top predators make predatory fish populations more resilient
A regime shift is gradually spreading through the archipelagos of the Swedish Baltic Sea coast, where shallow bays, previously dominated by pike and perch have one by one become dominated by one of

Despite the entry into force of the EU Habitats Directive more than 30 years ago, several marine habitats and species still do not meet the directive's objective of favourable conservation status. An
Fiskbarometern: senaste trenden för svensk fisk och skaldjur
At the Fiskbarometer, SLU presents the state and trends of fish and shellfish stocks in Swedish seas and freshwaters. The assessments for 2023 have now been completed. The status of pike and perch in

Bird predation – that is to be consumed by a predatory bird such as Great Cormorant – is a prevailing threat for a young salmonid as it migrates from its nursery habitats in freshwaters to a life in
Thesis highlights the importance of a holistic approach in ungulate management
The behavior of fallow deer, red deer, roe deer, and moose in the landscape is influenced by their basic needs: food, shelter, and avoidance of fear. In cultivated landscapes, it is predominantly
