At the Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences at the University of Jyväskylä, we work for sustainable fish stocks, and conduct research on e.g. the effects of sulphate on the reproduction of coregonids, the state of coregnid fish populations in Finland, and develop monitoring methods. For example, the larval catching method has been used to collect data on the densities of newly hatched whitefish and vendace larvae in Konnevesi, Puula and Tehinselkä in Päijänne for over 20 years. We also study the effects of sulphate on different aquatic organisms to contribute to the development of sulphate environment quality standards and the understanding of sulphate toxicity on different species.
