Developing fisheries
The audit found that aid measures do not play a key role in developing
fisheries. The fisheries administration’s resources
should be shifted more towards promoting basic production, which
would also help ensure jobs in fish factories. The state should take
steps to help professional fishermen gain access to private waters
and encourage fish farms to locate in areas that are better suited for
this purpose. This document contains a summary of the main results of the audit. The entire audit report is available only in Finnish.
