Autumn is well underway and an exciting summer of pink salmon is over. Our project on invasive alien species is also changing focus. Networking, organising events, and producing materials will now take centre stage.
As project coordinator for the Barents Invasive Alien Species (IAS) project I was able to learn about the testing of pink salmon fishing methods. The research is carried out in the municipality of Utsjoki at the river Tana. Many aspects of fishing method testing, such as the importance of local expertise and the peculiarities of the Tana riverboat, are not immediately obvious.
