Aasee Undergoes Two-Day Fish Population Study for Ecosystem Resilience

The Aasee is set to undergo a two-day study of its fish population. Experts from the Ruhrverband will be deploying nets and traps along the shore on October 7th and 8th to investigate the composition of the fish population in the lake.

This investigation is part of a broader resilience strategy for the Aasee. The goal is to make the ecosystem more resistant to heat and extreme drought. Regular fish population surveys are crucial for assessing the suitability of the current number and species composition, and for steering further measures to strengthen the Aasee ecosystem.

The lake is managed fisheries, with experts actively introducing predators and improving living conditions for certain species. This food chain manipulation aims to achieve a self-regulating water-type species composition in the future. Boats are advised to avoid marked areas during this time to prevent damage to the nets and ensure the success of the study.

The study, conducted by the Ruhrverband, will provide valuable insights into the Aasee's fish population. This data will be used to inform future management decisions, helping to maintain and enhance the resilience of the Aasee ecosystem.
