The Fish For Life project team has completed a new episode of the series of short videos dedicated to good practices in the field of ecological management and reconstruction of rivers. Thus, Cristian Tetelea, coordinator of ecological reconstruction activities, and Istvan Falka, coordinator of fish species monitoring activities, explain the role of the measures to be implemented in activities C2 (Habitat reconstruction measures in Gilort riverbed) and C3 ( Riverbed stabilization on the Gilort River at key points).

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.
Morphometric Measurement Campaign
The Fish For Life project implementation team conducted a first field campaign in August to determine the morphological characteristics of Gilort River, and to determine its current status within Natura 2000 site Gilort River.
