Inland Fisheries Institute in Olsztyn, WWF Poland and other partners are joining the international initiative “World Fish Migration Day” in May 2022. For this day we have planned the release of juvenile fish as part of the implementation of the Helcom Action Plan for the protection and recovery of the Baltic sturgeon. Schoolchildren, young people and students are invited to the sturgeon release. We will release juvenile sturgeons into the formerly most important sturgeon river in the Baltic Sea basin in the presence of the media.

S. Sakowicz Inland Fisheries Institute
The S. Sakowicz Inland Fisheries Institute as a reserch institute provides several programs of migratory fish species (Atlantic salmon, sea trout, eel, vimba, sturgeon) restitution in Poland. All this is strongly linked to the fisheries and environment protection practice. The Institute is involved in aquaculture bioengineering, fisheries management plans preparation and implementation, ecological status or potential assessment, environmental risk assessment, research on riverine habitats distribution under various water management scenarios (including modelling), as well as fishpass efficiency monitoring and dam impact evaluation.
