We usually think of fish migration as part of reproduction, but that’s only part of the story.
Discover 3 key reasons why fish migrate and learn how healthy, connected rivers make it possible.

Not all fish migrate the same way. 🐟
Some stay in rivers, some in the sea — and some journey between both.

Discover the main migration types in Part II of our Friday Facts.

From theory to action! 💧
Day 2 of the DANUBElifelines workshop at TUM moved from classrooms into the river — with sediment sampling, habitat mapping & muddy boots. That’s real science for free-flowing rivers.

This week in Munich 🇩🇪:
The DANUBElifelines team gathers at TUM to harmonize sampling methods across demo sites.

Because better data = better restoration decisions.
And it’s always great when the team meets face to face - ideas flow.

FRIDAY FACTS 🐟
Why do fish travel such long distances?
For many, it’s about reaching the perfect place to spawn — ensuring the next generation survives.
There are two main strategies, but one goal.

👉 Stay tuned for Part II!

🥚 It all starts with a fish egg!
Tiny, fragile, yet full of life — from an egg to an adult fish, each stage depends on food, habitat, and species.
Shown here: brown trout 🐟 and nase 🐠 eggs.
Next week: spawning grounds!

At conference "Connecting the Dots for Migratory Fishes" (hosted by EUSDR), we shared how DANUBElifelines links with DANUBE4all & SWIM projects to restore fish migration routes across the Danube.
Collaboration is the real connectivity. #Danube #RiverRestoration #HorizonEU #DANUBElifelines #Danube

🐟 Small streams, big impact.
Even tiny Danube tributaries are lifelines for migratory fish 🐟 — feeding, nursery & refuge habitats.
💧 But drying threatens them.
💙 DANUBElifelines works to keep small waters flowing for the future of fish.

💧Rivers cross borders. So must our efforts to protect them.
During #WorldWaterWeek, we highlight how DANUBElifelines restores connectivity for fish, rivers & people across the Danube Basin.

🧬 Tracking migratory fish with eDNA!
As part of #DanubeLifelines, we support #JDS5 – 3,000+ km of the Danube sampled in 3 weeks to detect biodiversity signals, incl. sturgeon.
Science in action for river restoration.

🌍 #July28th is World Nature Conservation Day — a reminder that nature needs more than protection.
It needs restoration.
At Danube Lifelines we restore Danube to bring back life — for fish, people, and the countries it flows through.

Lower Ipoly — one river, two worlds.
Upstream of Malé Kosihy weir: stagnant & fragmented.
Downstream: vibrant, full of life.
We’re working to restore fish migration & river health — with WWF Slovakia & Slovak Anglers’ Association.

Monitoring at the Hungarian DanubeLifelines site during JDS5 provides key data on fish assemblages and habitat suitability for migratory species. Low water levels now threaten vulnerable taxa like zingels and cactus roach.

🌿 Where the river still meanders — welcome to the Rába.
Hungary’s largest Danube tributary holds rare natural curves and side arms.
We’re reconnecting a 1.5 km oxbow, cut off since 1995 — to restore flow, fish habitats, and a living river.
