There were employed 12.4 thousand sea fishermen's in the Baltic Sea basin countries in 2014. They were only 0.02 % of the total number of employees. The biggest number of fishermen was in Poland − 2.5 thousand people (0.02 %). However, the largest share in fishermen's general employment took place in Estonia, where it amounted to 0.37 % (2.3 thousand fishermen). Employment in the Baltic fisheries has been declining due to the deteriorating state of fish stocks, which affects the reduction of fishing fleets in individual countries. Wages in the Baltic fisheries mainly depend on the form of fishing activity and the level of economic development in individual countries. The highest level was achieved in the “old countries” of the European Union and in the open sea fishery. On the other hand, the lowest earnings were in coastal fishing and the “new countries” of the European Union.
