Author: The Swedish Anglers Association
Year published: 2017

The Swedish Anglers Association finished during 2017 the project "Restoration efforts with perch in focus". The project has gathered knowledge and developed restoration measures for perch and has explored the possibility of increasing the reproduction of perch. The results from the project show that the size of lake area in a water system is most important for migrating perch. In order to benefit the perch stock along the east coast, it is aslo recommended to prepare free path for the perch and restore coastal areas.
