(a) Landings by Swedish fisheries in mass per TL (ICES area IIIa), data for 1962–1974 are lacking. The species dominating TL, less than 2.99 were invertebrates; TL, 3–3.49 was dominated by sprat and herring; for TL, 3.5–4 it was mackerel; and for TL more than 4 gadoids dominated. The large drop in landings in 1996 is related to changes in quota access at the time Sweden joined the European Union. (b) Trends observed in MTL, and (c) trends in PPR are for the same set of data as shown in (a).
