- Anadromous spawning migration of pike in Matsalu Bay and River Kasari delta-estuary (Baltic Sea) from 2018-2020
- Acronym
- ASMOP1
- Abstract in English
- Pike (Esox lucius) (n=106) were tagged with acoustics transmitters in Matsalu Bay, Baltic Sea (Estonia) to track their spawning migration to River Kasari delta-estuary using and array of stationary receivers deployed in the inner bay and in fresh water. The tagged fish were tracked for three spawning seasons to identify: 1) their migration patterns; 2) which general spawning areas (i.e. rivers, floodplains) are still in use and which are not. The ultimate goal was to provide advice to the management for potential restoration projects in the delta-estuary area which was canalized and dredged in 1926-1938.
