Return of the Sturgeon

While Mattias and Jonathan hold the fort with the sturgeon project in Gothenburg, Linnéa has travelled to Belgrade for a conference. The value of meeting in person cannot be overstated. Sturgeon are very special fish: they travel enormous distances, live a long time and grow very large. They need big rivers and lakes. Everything about sturgeon seems to be big. That is why meeting others who work with this challenging species is so important for making progress together. A fish conference in Belgrade is a good place to find them. Long days of endless fish talk lie ahead, with time for the occasional walk in between. In this video, I am standing on an old fortress looking over the place where the river Sana flows into the Danube. The Danube runs from right to left in the background. And those jumping fish you can glimpse are not sturgeon. Nor are they salmon. They are asp!
