Results and impact
In 2013, the sampling of fish fauna in the Kitkajärvet was planned and implemented. Experimental electrofishing was carried out at 70 littoral zone points in different parts of the lakes. The grouping and analysis of the material has started. The fish stock sampling was carried out simultaneously and partly with the same equipment (a boat) as the sampling of vegetation (vegetation transects in the littoral zone).
