The fishway in the L\u012bgatne<\/em> river is one of the few structures of its kind in Latvia that enables the migration of fish and other aquatic organisms past human-made obstacles such as sluices and hydropower dams. Salmonid species that inhabit the L\u012bgatne<\/em> river and other watercourses in Latvia either permanently or during migration are unable to overcome such barriers during their spawning season in autumn and winter, especially where water obstacles are linked to electricity production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In August 2020, in order to improve the spawning conditions in the L\u012bgatne<\/em> river, the L\u012bgatne Municipality restored the wooden fishway structure originally built in 2013. This restoration enables salmon, brown trout, sea trout and grayling\u2014all species with characteristic spawning migrations\u2014to reach upstream spawning grounds. Already during the first spawning season after the restoration, numerous migrating fish were observed, and the underwater camera provides an insight into this process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As with our bird-nest live streams, the underwater camera is supported by an LMT 4G connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The camera system was installed by J\u0101nis \u0136uze and J\u0101nis Rudz\u012btis, with additional assistance from J\u0101nis Zilveris, Gunars \u0160\u0137\u0113le and M\u0101ris Mitr\u0113vics. The Latvian Fund for Nature expresses its gratitude to the L\u012bgatne Municipality, especially Ain\u0101rs \u0160teins, the representatives of \u201cL\u012bgatnes komun\u0101lserviss,\u201d and everyone else involved in setting up and maintaining this live-stream camera!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":502,"template":"","class_list":["post-1286","livestream","type-livestream","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nSalmonids in the L\u012bgatne river near the restored fishway - Latvijas Dabas fonds<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/ldf.lv\/en\/livestreams\/salmonids-in-the-ligatne-river-near-the-restored-fishway\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Salmonids in the L\u012bgatne river near the restored fishway - Latvijas Dabas fonds\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The live stream will return in spring.
