Description

Description (SV):

Prosjektet handler om én elv: Femund-/Trysil-/Klarälven. Elva, og dens biologiske mangfold og økosystemtjenester, kjenner ikke administrative grenser. Det er derfor viktig å se vassdraget i sammenheng på tvers av riksgrensen Norge/Sverige. Projektets mål handlar om att förbättra ekologisk status bland annat genom miljöanpassning av vattenkraften så att den i dag låga naturliga reproduktionen av lax och öring i vattendraget kan öka. En åtgärd är att återinföra laxen till sina hemområden på norsk sida.

Description (EN):

The project is about one river: the Femund/Trysil/Klarälven. Elva, and its biological diversity and ecosystem services, do not know administrative borders. It is therefore important to see the reed course in context across the national border Norway/Sweden. The project's goal is to improve the ecological status, among other things, by environmentalizing the hydropower so that the currently low natural reproduction of salmon and trout in the watercourse can increase. One measure is to reintroduce the salmon to their home areas on the Norwegian side.

Achievements (EN):

During the project ""Two countries - one river"", the possibilities to restore the salmon stock, including re-establishment in the Norwegian part of the river, have been evaluated and the work has been partially started up. To obtain the goal it is necessary to secure safe and efficient salmon migration up to and down from the spawning areas. This is possible to obtain by building fish ladders, racks to avoid turbine passage and car transport to allow fish to pass dams and powerplants. To reestablish salmon in the Norwegian part that has been totally closed for salmon since 1988, gene bank-based cultivation of the salmon to produce and release salmon in the Norwegian part of the watercourse is recommended in an early phase. Gyrodactylus salaris is present in Vänern, and it is important to avoid spreading this parasite to the Norwegian part of the watercourse. Treatment of salmon with chlorine before transport across the border is suggested as a safe method to eliminate G. salaris. Large-scale restoration of the remaining salmon habitat in Klarälven has been carried out by returning boulders, stones and gravel, which earlier was taken out of the river to facilitate timber floating. Measures has also been taken to improve the genetic status of the salmon and the project has monitored different life-stages of the population by using electro-fishing-boat, fyke and screwtrap. The project recommends continuing the work to restore the salmon population in the whole river. Costly measures are needed to succeed, and there are still unresolved issues as future license terms for the hydropower plants and a decision whether salmon should be re-established in the Norwegian part of the river. Before starting any measures, these issues must be solved, since the benefit of one measure will depend on the implementation of another.
