In a splendid mix of environmental conservation and royal participation, Sweden celebrated a significant milestone with the 50th annual fish release into Stockholm's waterways.

This year, a grand total of 140,000 fish, including 10,000 sea trout, were released in various streams around Stockholm County, culminating in a special event at Stockholm Ström where the king himself took part in the release.

The tradition, which began in 1973, aims to bolster local fish populations and ecosystems.

The introduction of predatory sea trout into Stockholm Ström is particularly noteworthy for its ecological importance.

This majestic event not only showcased the royal commitment to environmental issues but also highlighted the ongoing efforts to sustain Sweden's aquatic biodiversity.
