With new cameras in the salmon ladders at the Jonsered power plant, you will soon be able to follow the migration of the fishermen in the Säveån River - wherever you are.
Life in the Säveån River has long been hidden beneath the surface. Soon you will have a new opportunity to take part in it. With the help of cameras in the salmon ladders at the Jonsered power plant, you will be able to follow fish moving through the river, both upstream and downstream.
The cameras will capture movements as fish pass by and record short sequences. At the same time, data will be collected on how many fish pass by and what species they are. This will provide better knowledge about life in the water and how migration changes over time.
It has been known for some time that around 100 salmon and the same number of sea trout pass through Jonsered each year. With the new technology, it will be possible to follow developments in more detail and get a clearer picture of what is actually happening in the river. Lerum Energi is also in the process of installing two cameras that will make it possible to follow the fish migration from Jonsered all the way to Floda.
The initiative is part of a collaboration between Partille Energi, Lerum Energi and several local actors, such as Sportfiskarna, Säveåns Fly Fishing Association and several local fisheries conservation area associations who are also involved in financing the project.
“This gives us both better knowledge about fish migration and an opportunity to show something that is otherwise hidden,” says Lena Moberg, marketing manager at Partille Energi.
And for those who are curious, there will be a chance to see what is actually moving in the Säveån River. We hope to soon be able to show slow-motion TV with fish here on our website.
