In rescue work In the autumn, a total of about 5,500 raws were moved to the river’s damaged area.
« We were delighted by the brutal protectors that we were able to rescue the spirit of thousands of raws and the mussels will probably continue to continue their long life. This summer we will find out how the raw survivors survived the area of the winter, » Metsähallitus project manager Pirkko-Liisa Luhta says in the bulletin.
According to Metsähallitus
Mussel is a very endangered species that lives in Finland in 157 rivers and streams. The raws purify water when purchasing nutrition, which is why they play an important role in creating a vibrant ecosystem for other species.
This summer, the home flows of the raws will also be renovated in Northern Ostrobothnia and Koillismaa.
The aim of the rehabilitation is to improve the conditions of hiking fish and the potential for raw reproduction. Raw needs a trout or salmon population in the early years of its life, as it uses fish as a middleman for its touk, the release states.
The protection of the brutal is made in the Metsähallitus Life Revives project. The fourth summer is underway for this year’s refurbishment.
