This document was produced during a three-day seminar and workshop on the genetic diversity of commercially exploited fish species in Nordic waters held at Holar College, Iceland. The aim of the seminar was to discuss current knowledge regarding the effects of commercial fishing activities on the genetic diversity of wild, marine species of fish in Nordic waters, and to provide recommendations for necessary actions to minimize further loss of such diversity. This document expresses the joint view of the selected expert scientists invited to the meeting, and the content concerns fish populations exploited in Nordic waters. During the first day of the meeting short presentations were given by some of the participants. The abstracts of these presentations are provided in Appendix 2 and the full workshop program in Appendix 3. Topics for working groups during workshop sections, and the initial questions outlined for the discussions are provided in Appendix 4.
