When fish migrate: International Day of Fish Migration in Lucerne (24 May 2014)
This year, with over 200 events in more than 40 countries, the international day of fish migration is being celebrated for the first time ever. Even the city of Lucerne is crossed by migrating fish.

In addition to that, the highlights of video footage from three years’ monitoring of the fish pass will be shown, along with plenty of information on fish migration. Further information (in German) can be found on the website in German.
