Modern fisheries management is based on accurate information about the fish stocks and their place in the ecosystem, thorough understanding of the efficiency and the effects of fisheries methods, and insight into the socio-economic aspects of the fisheries industry. ILVO provides the government with this information. A multidisciplinary team with an extensive network is supported by a technical team that does the field work on land as well as at sea. In addition to the marine fisheries research, ILVO also has a team researching how to build sustainable aquaculture systems. ILVO also provides services to support businesses, government agencies and other scientific institutions in their scientific research.
