In this project, the distribution of herring larvae is studied in a pilot herring larvae survey using a Tucker trawl in the South East part of the Stockholm Archipelago. Hauls are made both inshore and offshore. The collected herring are also included in a genetic survey, conducted by Stockholm University Department of Zoology.
