Nordsjön=North Sea, Östersjön=Baltic Sea 67 8 Fisheries in Sweden EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Sweden is a Nordic country on the Scandinavian Peninsula. The East Swedish coast borders the semi-enclosed Baltic Sea, with its peculiar ecosystem mixing freshwater and marine species. To the west, the Skagerrak, Kattegat and Öresund form the gateway between the Baltic Sea and the North Sea. Stratification of waters in both areas is a cause of oxygen deficiency, with critical effects on biodiversity and fisheries. Sweden is a member of the European Union since 1 January 1995. The Swedish fisheries policy is thus covered by the EU Common Fisheries Policy. The Government authority responsible for the conservation and exploitation of Sweden's fish stocks is the Swedish Board of Fisheries. Fisheries management is based on the Total Allowable Catches and quota system, accompanied by other measures such as effort regulation, technical conservation measures, management/recovery plans and stock enhancement operations. Sweden has a number of rights-based management systems in place: Individual Quotas and Individual Transferable Quotas, territorial use rights in fisheries, and limited non-transferable permits/licences. Sweden has established a large number of Marine Protected Areas around its coasts, and is involved in major networks such as the marine component of Natura 2000, the OSPAR network and the HELCOM Baltic Sea Protected Areas. In 2008, Swedish catches from marine fisheries reached a total of 229 726 t (live weight). The Baltic Sea is the most important fishing area, with 72% of the total national catches, while the remaining volume comes from the North Sea (14 %) and from the Kattegat and Skagerrak area (14%). Fisheries in the Baltic Sea and Öresund are dominated by the catches of sprat, herring and cod. In the Skagerrak and Kattegat, most of the fish catches consist of herring, followed by sprat, saithe, weever, cod and plaice. Crustaceans are particularly significant, mainly the deep-water prawn and the Norway lobster. The main catches in the North Sea are herring and sandeel, but also mackerel, saithe and cod. Table 1: Key data Area 449 964 km2 Population 9 349 059 (at 28/02/2010) Flag Capital Stockholm Coastline 13 567 km West coast Skagerrak, Kattegat and Öresund South and East coast Baltic Sea Source: Diverse 9 Policy Department B: Structural and Cohesion Policies Out of the total 229 726 t live weight (weight of fish as caught), the landed weight (weight of fish as landed) represented 218 956 t. The landed weight includes fish for consumption (43%), fish for reduction (56.9%), as well as roe and liver (ca. 0.1%). Nevertheless, fish for consumption provides the major part of the total value of the landings (81%). Roe and liver are also high value products (1.4%) while fish for reduction represent 17.5% of the landings value. As regards landings of fish for consumption, they are dominated by a small number of species: herring (more than half of the landings of fish for consumption and ca. 23% of the total landings), sprat, cod, mackerel and saithe, as well as deep-water prawn and Norway lobster. In terms of value, crustaceans and cod have a higher share of the landings (24% and 19% of the value of the total landings respectively), and several other higher value species have significant contributions, mainly eel, plaice and witch.

The report aims to describe pathways to a Nordic food system that contributes to achieving the climate target of below 2 (or 1.5) degrees of warming and the air pollution target of zero exceedance of critical loads and critical levels regarding ammonia emissions. The Nordic region has diverse geological and climatic conditions that make certain types of agricultural production more vulnerable than others. The policy recommendations aim to serve as input to different policies at EU, Nordic and national level.

  • Time Perspective, Personality, and Life Satisfaction Among Anorexia Nervosa Patients
    A dark past, a restrained present, and an apocalyptic future: time perspective, personality, and life satisfaction among anorexia nervosa patients Danilo Garcia1,2,3,4, Alexandre Granjard1, Suzanna Lundblad5 and Trevor Archer2,3 1 Blekinge Centre of Competence, Blekinge County Council, Karlskrona, Sweden 2 Department of Psychology, University of Gothenburg, Gothenburg, Sweden 3 Network for Empowerment and Well-Being, Sweden 4 Department of Psychology, Lund University, Lund, Sweden 5 Psychiatry Affective, Anorexia & Bulimia Clinic for Adults, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Gothenburg, Sweden ABSTRACT Background. Despite reporting low levels of well-being, anorexia nervosa patients express temperament traits (e.g., extraversion and persistence) necessary for high levels of life satisfaction. Nevertheless, among individuals without eating disorders, a balanced organization of the flow of time, influences life satisfaction beyond temperamental dispositions. A balanced time perspective is defined as: high past positive, low past negative, high present hedonistic, low present fatalistic, and high future. We investigated differences in time perspective dimensions, personality traits, and life satisfaction between anorexia nervosa patients and matched controls. We also investigated if the personality traits and the outlook on time associated to positive levels of life satisfaction among controls also predicted anorexia patients' life satisfaction. Additionally, we investigated if time perspective dimensions predicted life satisfaction beyond personality traits among both patients and controls. Method. A total of 88 anorexia nervosa patients from a clinic in the West of Sweden and Submitted 23 January 2017 Accepted 22 August 2017 111 gender-age matched controls from a university in the West of Sweden participated Published 14 September 2017 in the Study.

This paper presents an empirical study of a mental health coordination network in one area in Stockholm. The aim was to describe the development and nature of coordination within a mental health and social care consortium and to assess the impact on care processes and client outcomes. Method: Data was gathered through interviews with ‘joint coordinators’ (n=6) from three rehabilitation units. The interviews focused on coordination activities aimed at supporting the clients’ needs and investigated how the joint coordinators acted according to the consor- tium’s holistic approach.

At the moment of writing, the strategy, targeted towards both the majority and the minority populations, is on the verge of becoming implemented within all the municipal administrations and the whole municipal system of governance, so it is still to tell how much it will influence and change the current situation in the municipality. Population and demographics Botkyrka is a municipality with many faces. We are the most diverse municipality in Sweden. Between 2010 and 2012 the proportion of inhabitants with a foreign background increased to 55 % overall, and to 65 % among all children and youngsters (aged 0–18 years) in the municipality.2 55 % have origin in some other country (one self or two parents born abroad) and Botkyrka is the third youngest population among all Swedish municipalities.3 Botkyrka has always been a traditionally working-class lower middle-class municipality, but the inflow of inhabitants from different parts of the world during half a decade, makes this fact a little more complex.
