The project was performed in joint co-operation with Västra Götaland County Administration and Tjärnö Marine Biological Laboratory, a so-called Centre of Excellence governed by the Universities of Göteborg and Stockholm. In 2003 a survey took place in the northern Swedish part of the Skagerrak, under contract to the National Board of Fisheries and the Swedish Navy.
