Happy World Fish Migration Day!
World Fish Migration Day is a one day global celebration to create awareness on the importance of free flowing rivers and migratory fish.
The flagship fish species of Aoos/Vjosa river is the critically endangered European Eel, which enters the river from the Adriatic sea in Albania and travels upstream up until the river’s springs. It feeds and reaches maturity in inland waters and after 2-3 years it returns to the sea where it reproduces.
