Germany's marine fisheries catches in the Baltic Sea (1950-2007)
Total fisheries catches by Germany in the Baltic Sea from 1950-2007 were estimated using a method called ‘catch reconstruction’ that used ICES landing statistics as a baseline, then adjusted these data based on data available from other sources such as ICES stock assessment working group reports and...
