National Board of Fisheries (Sweden)

The Swedish National Board of Fisheries () was a central government authority responsible for fisheries management in Sweden. Established in 1948 and headquartered in Gothenburg, it played a crucial role in overseeing and regulating the Swedish fishing industry until its dissolution on July 1, 2011.

History

The Swedish National Board of Fisheries was created in 1948 as part of the country's efforts to centralize and modernize its fisheries management. Prior to its establishment, fisheries regulation in Sweden was less coordinated and primarily handled at local levels.

Dissolution and successor

On July 1, 2011, the Swedish National Board of Fisheries was dissolved as part of a government reorganization. Its responsibilities were primarily transferred to the newly created Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management (, HaV). This change was part of a broader effort to integrate water and marine management under a single authority.
