Business trip report, Slovakia - LIFE Living Rivers: migratory permeability of the Slovak part of the Danube for rheophilic fish, Drozd et al.

On October 20^th–29^th, 2024, FFPW USB staff (Bořek Drozd, Filip Ložek, Pavel Staněk, Martin Šindler) together with students of the faculty, employees of the Slovak Angling Union and members of the Slovak Fishing Club caught and tagged 3 rheophilic fish species for a telemetry study aimed at determining the current migratory passability of Slovak - Hungarian parts of the Danube for fish. The target fish species are: sterlet (Acipenser ruthenus) as the flagship fish species of the Danube basin, as well as barbel (Barbus barbus) and asp (Leuciscus aspius). The activity took place within the framework of fulfilling the goals of the integrated project LIFE Living Rivers (101069837/LIFE21-IPE-SK-Living Rivers).
