The FishForLife project was presented within The Wild Kingdom show, realized by the Romanian Television and broadcast on several stations belonging to it (TVR1, TVR3, TVR International), but also on the TVR + online platform. This can be watched in the video below.

Invertebrate Monitoring
At the beginning of June 2019, the FishForLife project implementation team carried out a second campaign to take biological samples of benthic macronoinvertebrates from the Gilort River drainage basin. The first campaign took place in September 2018 and included 8 sampling points.Laboratory processing of the samples collected in the first campaign led to the identification of 12 major groups of aquatic macronoinvertebrates, namely: Gastropoda, Oligochaeta, Nematoda, Turbellaria, Hydrachnidia, Crustacea (Amphipoda), Coleoptera, Diptera (with families: Athericidae, Chironomidae, Ceratopogonidae, Empididae, Limoniidae, Simuliidae, Tabanidae, Tipulidae, Dolicopodidae), Ephemeroptera, Odonata, Plecoptera and Trichoptera.
Completion of feasibility studies
The feasibility studies for the two fish passages to be carried out within the FishForLife project have been completed. The two sites where the fish passages will be made are located in Albeni and Targu Carbunesti, near the road bridges over Gilort River. In the two points, in 2014 two spillway thresholds were built that do not allow upstream migration of fish species targeted by our project.
Evaluation of Ecosystem Services
Between 2 and 6 May, 2019, the Fish for Life project implementation team conducted a campaign to collect water samples and in-situ measurements of water chemical parameters from Gilort River and two of its main tributaries, Galbenu and Blahnita. The team led by Dr. Marius Matache performed in-situ measurements of dissolved oxygen, nitrite and ammonium and took water samples for laboratory determination of nitrogen, phosphate and total phosphorus indicators.
