  • Atlantic Salmon (Salmo Salar ) in Subdivisions 22–31 (Baltic
    ICES Advice on fishing opportunities, catch, and effort Baltic Sea ecoregion Published 29 May 2020 Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) in subdivisions 22–31 (Baltic Sea, excluding the Gulf of Finland) ICES advice on fishing opportunities ICES advises that when the precautionary approach is applied, total commercial sea catch in 2021 should be no more than 116 000 salmon, assuming no change in recreational effort. Applying the same catch proportions estimated from observations in the 2019 fishery, the catch in 2021 would be split as follows: 106 000 salmon projected landings (91%; i.e. 83% reported, 7% unreported, and 1% misreported) and projected discards of 10 000 salmon (9%; previously referred to as discards). This would correspond to commercial landings (the reported projected landings) of 96 600 salmon. ICES advises that management of salmon fisheries should be based on the status of individual river stocks. Fisheries on mixed stocks that encompass weak wild stocks present particular threats, and should be kept as close to zero as possible. Fisheries in open-sea areas or in coastal waters target mixed stocks; they are thus more likely to pose a threat to depleted stocks than fisheries in estuaries and in healthy (at or above MSY) wild or reared salmon rivers. The salmon stocks of rivers Rickleån, Sävarån, Öreälven, and Lögdeälven in the Gulf of Bothnia, Emån in southern Sweden, and all rivers in the southeastern Main Basin (AU 5) are particularly weak, and several have shown limited recovery to previous reductions in exploitation rates at sea. The offshore and coastal fisheries in the Main Basin includes catches from all of these weak salmon stocks on their feeding migration.

  • East Baltic Vikings - with Particular Consideration to the Ctrronians
    East Baltic Vikings - with particular consideration to the Ctrronians Swedish Allies in the Saga World EAST BALTIC At the mythical battlefield of Bravellir (Sw. VIKINGS - WITH Bnl.vallama), Danes and the Swedes clashed in a PARTICULAR fight of epic dimensions. The over-aged Danish king Harald Hildetand finally lost his life, and CONSIDERA­ his nephew king Sigurdr hringr won Denmark TION TO THE for the Swedes. The story appears in a fragment CURONIANS of a Norse saga from around 1300. But since Sa­ xo Grammaticus tells it, the written tradition Nils Blornkvist must go back at least to the late 12th century. Wri­ ting in Latin he prefers to call it bellum Suetici, 'the Swedish war'. It's for several reasons ob­ vious that Saxo has built his text on a Norse text that must have been quite similar to the preser­ ved fragment. The battle of Bravellir- the Norse fragment claims - was noteworthy in ancient tales for having be­ en the greatest, the hardest and the most even and uncertain of the wars that had been fought in the Nordic countries.1 Both sources give long lists of the famous heroes that joined the two armies in a way that recalls the list of ships in Homer's Iliad. These champions are the knight­ errants of Germanic epics, to some degree rela­ ted with those of chansons de geste. They are pre­ sented with characteristic epithets and eponyms that point out their origins in a town, a tribe or a country. When summed up they communicate a geographic vision of the northern World in the 11 th and 12th centuries.

It has existed as an independent state c.1918 to 1940 and again since 1990. In size it is similar to Sri Lanka or Sierra Leone. Latvia is approximately 1% smaller than neighbouring Lithuania, but has only two-thirds the population, estimated at 1.88 million in 20202.

PCGN recommends using place names as found on official Latvian-language sources, retaining all diacritical marks.
