Atlantic Sturgeon Returns to Göta River

Published: 2024-06-03

The ancient fish species, Atlantic sturgeon, is making a return to the Göta River after more than a century.

Archeological and historical evidence suggests that Atlantic sturgeons once thrived in this river.

The reintroduction project has begun, with the fish being tagged with small acoustic transmitters for monitoring.

This initiative aims to revive the ancient species in its historical habitat.

Meanwhile, the invasive stone marten is causing concern in the region of Skåne.
