20.7.2010 Crayfish season 2010 – reliable catch predictions support development of the crayfish industry According to crayfish catch monitoring by the Finnish Game and Fisheries Research Institute, signal crayfish stocks are robust, and a large number of noble crayfish were left in Finland’s waterways last season.

25.5.2010 A new computational model being developed for estimating populations of large carnivores The Finnish Game and Fisheries Research Institute and the Aalto University School of Science and Technology are together developing a computational method for estimating populations of large carnivores. The new method will provide a quicker and more cost-effective way of keeping track of the number of large carnivores. Read more »
