Presenta(on • Bengt Larsson, Ronneby, Sweden Been a fisherman the last 25 • years. Several genera(ons have been • in the fishery.

Hometown – Ronneby, in the southeast of Sweden. My main fishing area My harbour - Ronnebyhamn

Fishingboat 10,5 m(35 ft), KN 62 Vingaland

Ø Gillnets Ø Longline(bottom) Ø Cod Ø Flounder Ø Turbot Ø Also previously conducted; Ø Longline fishery for salmon Ø Fishing for herring purse seine and landnot (inshore)

What do we want to achive? Ø Sea and fishstocks in Ø Who to decide what´s balance? in balance and who to decide what should Ø Of course. be?

Many issues to resolve • Who should have the right to fish? • Commission – sustainable fishing practices. • Passive gears – small-scale fishery

Many issues to resolve • Small-scale fishery needs more than one fishery to stand on. • Seasons, weather, etc. • Local situations • Differences between coastal areas

Many issues to resolve Cod Turbot

Many issues to resolve • 50 000 – 60 000 Cormorant 250 000

Until now… • General solutions – over big areas • Unnecessary closures • Turns out local sustainable fishing effort

Fishstocks in balance Cod Sprat and herring

Fishstocks in balance • Cod Empty (or nearly)

FISHERMEN’S SITUATION & FUTURE • Reduced stocks - lower catches - global compete(on • lower prices • wholesales

My solution to bring these together:

Shortest way from sea to plate

REPORTING OF CATCH - SCHEDULE The fisherman sends catch report income (text mess) The system updates the catch and the buy side on fiskonline.se The system receives the report

The customer buys fish - schedule The customer receives a receipt, the fisherman also on her cell phone The customer receives a receipt, the fisherman also The customer buys the fish of fisherman on his cell phone The payment is recorded The customer shows his receipt and f its prepackaged fresh fish
