Restoration of Endangered Ichthiofauna in Small Rivers using Minor Pisciculture Methods
One of the reasons due to which breading of fish species had significantly decreased is lack of fry, i.e. small artificially bred fish, which is to be released into the majority of smaller Lithuanian rivers.
The project aims to initiate restoration of the endangered fish species (the River Trout) resources by using innovative method of cartridge incubators and eliminating migration barriers at the routes of their migration officially designated by the Ministry of Environment. The information dissemination and awareness raising of local rural communities, demonstrating them efficient ways of minor pisciculture will play a significant role in achieving positive results.
Planned activities of the project are:
· manufacturing and assembling a trial batch of cartridge incubators;
· catching the river trout reproducers, impregnation of their roe, incubation;
· destroying beaver dams (barriers to migration);
· monitoring works; protecting rivers? recourses from poachers;
· education and
