	Baltic Sea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Baltic Sea is linked to the White Sea by the White Sea Canal and directly to the North Sea by the Kiel Canal.
		The Baltic sea is iced in winter, except for the deepest regions in the center.
		The low salinity of the Baltic sea has led to the evolution of many slightly divergent species, such as the Baltic Sea herring, which is a smaller variant of the Atlantic herring.

	Herring - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Herrings move in vast schools, coming in spring to the shores of Europe and America, where they are caught, salted and smoked in great quantities.
		Herring have been a staple food source, especially for northern Europeans, back to 3000 B.C. There are numerous ways the fish is served and many regional recipes.
		Another way to eat pickled herring would be as a rollmop, in which the herring is wrapped around a piece of pickled cucumber and then skewered with a toothpick.

		Previously autumn spawning herring dominated the herring populations but there was a change in the 1960s and since the spring spawning components have dominated the populations.
		Herring populations form a continuos chain extending from the North Sea to the northernmost parts of the Baltic Sea.
		Herring is mainly exploited in the open sea by trawls (pelagic single- and pairtrawls) and in coastal water during spawning time both by trapnets, pound-nets and gillnets.

	Cod in the eastern Baltic
		In contrast to the pelagic fishes herring and sprat, cod is a sea fish, and its reproduction is strongly influenced by poor water exchange in the deepest parts of the Baltic Sea.
		The stocks of the Baltic herring and sprat are in a relatively fair state in the central and northern part of the Baltic Sea.
		Cod, herring, salmon and eel fishery is presently unsustainable in the Baltic Sea.

		Baltic Herring recognised by EU The European Union has acknowledged that the Baltic herring is not the same as the larger herring found in other northern seas.
		EU fisheries ministers agreed to grant the Baltic herring its own classification even though it has the same Latin name, Clupea harengus, as its bigger relation.
		The EU now defines the Baltic herring as a herring that is caught and landed north of latitude 59.30 degrees north.

	Chapter VI - 3
		The infestation of Baltic cod with conspicuous externally visible parasites, the copepod Lernaeocera branchialis in the gill chamber and encysted metacercariae of the digenean Cryptocotyle lingua in the skin, is restricted to the southwestern parts of the Baltic Sea (see REF : 34,378).
		The diseases and parasites of Baltic herring, that have been the subject of most scientific activities during the past twenty years, are the infestation by larvae of the parasitic nematode Anisakis sp.
		Mean prevalences in herring in the size range 20-27 cm total length, sampled west of Bornholm (ICES Sub-divisions 22 and 24) in December 1987 and 1988, were in the range of 30-45 %, whereas prevalences in areas east of Bornholm (ICES Sub-divisions 25 and 26) were between 0.3 and 0.7 % (see REF : 385).

	Helcom : Fish
		The fish populations of the Baltic Sea are burdened by over-fishing, oxygen depletion and high levels of hazardous substances, as well as by natural challenges like cold winter temperatures and varying levels of salinity.
		Autumn-spawning Baltic herring were abundant during the first half of the 20th Century, but have been scarce since the 1960s.
		Plaice are mainly caught in the western Baltic, and the total catch fluctuates considerably, probably due to irregular migration of plaice from the Kattegat.

		The aim of this research was to examine the effect of different concentrations of acetic acid introduced into brine on the process of maturation of immersed salted headed and gutted Baltic herring, with particular regard to the process of proteolysis.
		Baltic herring (Clupea harengus membrans) were caught in Pomeranian Bay in March, stored in ice, and delivered to the laboratory while rogor mortis was still present.
		Brine extractability of protein in flesh of salted herring dropped at a rate close to exponential along with an increase in the acetic acid concentration in brine (Fig.

	Persistent Organic Pollutants in the Baltic Sea Biogeomonitoring
		The studies concerning the feeding of herring and sprat that were carried out during the years 1982-1992 in north-eastern part of the Baltic Sea showed changes in the diet of the fish and also the rising number of fish with an empty stomach (Figure 3).
		Increase in the percentage rate of empty stomachs of Baltic herring and sprat in the beginning of 1990's may turn out to be one of the reasons for the decrease of PCB concentration in food, comparing with the end of 1970's and the beginning of 1980's.

		Although the yield of the Baltic herring has been increasing in recent years (52.4 thousand tonnes in 1997), its importance to the total catch is decreasing.

		We previously demonstrated that the same Baltic Sea herring led to impaired natural killer cell and T-lymphocyte function in harbour seals during the course of a long-term captive feeding study.
		The same two herring batches used in the seal study were freeze-dried, supplemented and fed to female adult PVG rats for a period of 4 1/2 months.
		We conclude that suppression of the cellular immune response in the seals fed Baltic herring was induced by the chronic exposure to immunotoxic environmental contaminants accumulated through the food chain.

		They influence herring populations both in the littoral areas after hatching and in the pelagial after fish migrate from the shallow areas to outer sea.

		The objective is to investigate the decreasing growth rate of Baltic herring during the last decade.
		The goal is to investigate the trophic interaction hypothesis of decreased size-selective predation followed by a decrease in available prey for Baltic herring and to simulate effects of changes in the exploitation pattern on the energetics, size distribution and recruitment potential of Baltic herring.
		The Baltic proper has become a planktivore-dominated system and the size spectrum of the entire system seem to have shifted towards smaller individuals and relative lack of large piscivorous predators.

	BASYS Newsletter 10 (March 1999)
		Simultaneously, the food composition of the Baltic herring has changed accordingly, and the herring is suffering of decrased quality and quantity of it´s staple food, the planktonic copepods (Lumberg and Ojaveer, 1991; Flinkman et al., 1998).
		Thus the poor condition and starvation of the Baltic herring as also the decline in the Baltic cod stock both occurred during the 1980´s and caused problems for fisheries and fisheries management are explained, and at least partly attributable to salinity changes, and ultimately to meterological control through the NAO.
		In the period of low growth of herring (1992-1996) the values of condition factor for winter were nearly on the level of 1977-1983 when the growth rate of fishes was high.

	Fishupdate.com: Baltic fish toxins warning
		Some of the fatty fish found in the Baltic do not comply with EU requirements for dioxins, and in 1995 the Swedish authorities recommended that women of childbearing age limit their consumption of Baltic herring and salmon because of the contamination with toxic substances such as furans, dioxins and PCBs.
		The Baltic Sea is an ecosystem highly sensitive to pollution, as there is little exchange of water with the neighbouring Atlantic Ocean.
		WWF stresses that the current EU chemical legislation has failed to protect the Baltic ecosystem and its biodiversity from the toxic threat of hazardous chemicals, but REACH, the new EU legislation on chemicals, could contribute to the protection of a vulnerable area such as the Baltic Sea.
