Previously, the Information Centre has published fishery surveys for 2010, 2011 and 2012. This yearbook, whose structure fol- lows that of its predecessors, gives an overview of the state of Estonian fishery in 2013 and compares it to previous years. By contrast to the preceding yearbooks, this one lacks the chapter on “Ichthyologic and fishery-related research projects” at the end of the book, because the Information Centre has published “Aasta- tel 2008–2013 valminud kalandus-uuringud” (Fishery Research 2008–2013) as a separate book, which is available to all interested parties, both in hard copy and on our website at www.kalateave.ee. Fishery is a sector where, in addition to the general economic climate, the environment plays a major role, and hence the success of the sector largely depends on natural conditions. Shrimp has been the most profitable species for Estonian distant-water fishing companies over the years. However, natural stocks and catches of shrimp in the North West Atlantic are declining. The recession of stocks has led to the reduction of fishing quotas for many ocean fish species. All the more reason, then, to rejoice that Estonia has a distant-water fishing company to which a MSC certificate has been issued for shrimp fishing! The number of coastal fishermen was roughly the same in 2013 as in earlier periods – 1860. As this figure has remained stable over the past couple of years, there is reason to argue that the proportions of those quitting due to old age and young fishermen just starting out are balanced. However, the trend of only a few people being able to earn a year-round living from fishing persists. Time and again coastal fishermen have to show ingenuity and think of ways to add value to their catches and to find alternative earning opportunities from coastal tour- ism or other sea-related activities. Support from the European Fisheries Fund has played an invaluable role in the implementation of such projects, e.g. in the renovation and modernisation of a number of small ports, the construction of seaside accommodation and the development of small enterprises to add value to catches. Perch and herring continued to be the main sources of income for coastal fishermen in 2013. There was significant growth in perch catches, but the decline in the first-sale prices of perch compared to 2012 was a fly in the ointment. 6 The largest catches are still being landed by the trawling segment, which accounts for nearly 80% of the Estonian commercial fishing sector. 2013 saw a slight increase in our sprat quota, which was used up almost completely thanks to favourable weather conditions. Since Estonian fishermen have three producer organisations equipped with state-of-the-art cold stores, they can store their catches and sell the fish when the price is acceptable. Some new fish farms started activities in the aquaculture sector in 2013. This, however, did not lead to a significant increase in production. Production vol- umes reached the levels of 2009 again, but many modern recirculation systems are still not operational, and the fish farms established with the support of the EFF have been unable to meet the prescribed levels of production. We hope that the implementation of the Estonian Aquaculture Development Strategy drawn up in 2013 will lead to the domestic production of farmed fish reaching consum- ers in growing volumes and that companies farming new fish species in addition to the traditional rainbow trout and carp will also prove viable. Although recent assessments indicate that the realistic number of recrea- tional fishermen is lower than that mentioned in the previous yearbooks, nearly one hundred thousand “anglers” is still an impressive result for a small nation – almost every tenth person is involved in fishing as an active recreational sport in Estonia. The number of companies whose core business is the processing of fish and other seafood has declined somewhat, but the aggregate sales revenue of the sec- tor has increased. The strength and viability of the fish processing industry of Estonia is evidenced by the fact that the majority of fish processing companies closed the financial year at a profit, and new jobs were also created. When browsing through the ‘Estonian Fishery 2013’ yearbook, dear reader, you might get the impression that this sector is all dry numbers and dull tables and figures. Nothing could be further from the truth – each and every number refers to the hard day-to-day work of thousands of lively and active people. For many of them, fishing has been a source of livelihood for generations. Estonia was, is and always will be a maritime country where fishery has a specific eco- nomic and social role. We all can contribute to the fulfilment of this role by con- suming Estonian fishery products.

Distant-water fish- ing vessels flying the Estonian flag have fishing rights on three fishing grounds: Svalbard; North West Atlantic (NAFO); and North East Atlantic (NEAFC). After acceding to the European Union, Estonia retained fishing rights as a member of these international organisations on the basis of the principle of relative stability and as a share of the fishing quota of the European Union (Aps et al., 2005). Fleet The distant-water fishing fleet still consists solely of trawlers on board which fish or shrimp undergo primary or final processing. In general, demersal trawls are used. However, pelagic trawls are occasionally used as well. A crew typically con- sists of around 20 people. According to the data of the Estonian Fishing Vessel Register (as at 31 Decem- ber 2013), there were five vessels in the distant-water fishing segment.

  • Abstract Evaluating Holocene Precipitation
    ABSTRACT EVALUATING HOLOCENE PRECIPITATION VARIABILITY IN THE BALTIC REGION USING OXYGEN ISOTOPES OF LACUSTRINE CARBONATE FROM ESTONIA Carolyn Fortney, M.S. Department of Geology and Environmental Geosciences Northern Illinois University, 2016 Nathan D. Stansell, Director Oxygen isotopes derived from authigenic carbonate from open lake systems record variations in seasonal precipitation source. This study focuses on the sediment record from Lake Nuudsaku in southern Estonia to evaluate how winter versus summer precipitation has changed throughout the Holocene as a result of fluctuating North Atlantic Ocean conditions, primarily the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). Estonia receives precipitation with a lower δ18O value from the North Atlantic and Baltic Sea during the winter months. In contrast, during the summer months Estonia receives precipitation with greater δ18O values from warmer North Atlantic waters and from the Mediterranean Sea and Black Sea. Therefore, lower δ18O values in the carbonate record were interpreted as periods of time in which there were increases in the amount of winter precipitation. Oxygen isotope data indicate relatively wet winters during the early Holocene (9960 to 8800 cal yr BP) followed by a shift toward drier winters during the middle of the Holocene (8800 to 4200 cal yr BP). The late Holocene (4200 cal yr BP to the present) was characterized by the wettest winters recorded in the oxygen isotope record. The periods of increased winter precipitation in the Baltic region generally coincided with periods of increased NAO index between 5200 cal yr BP and 1000 cal yr BP. There was an inverse relationship between winter precipitation and NAO index during the Medieval Climate Anomaly and the Little Ice Age (900 to 100 cal yr BP).

In the years between the two World Wars the concept became more political in nature: after Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania obtained their independence in 1918 the region gradually became understood as the geographical entity made up of these three republics. Although the Baltic region is geographically fairly homogeneous, each of the newly restored republics possesses unique geographical and strategic features.
