Every tenth visitor to Kemi’s museums in the summer was from abroad. A third of the visitors were from other places, especially from North Ostrobothnia and the capital region.
Museum director Tanja Kavasvuo also expects a busy autumn for Kemi’s museums. …
Herring is an important food fish, but suffers from the effects of climate change. The decrease in salt content has changed the diet of herring.
A new explanation is being found for the poor condition of herring in the Archipelago Sea.
Back in the 1980s, herring was twice as plentiful as it is now. Reasons for the silverfin’s weight loss have been searched for a long time.
There are several factors behind this, but the latest observation is the decrease in iodine concentration in the Baltic Sea.
Heavy rains dilute the Baltic Sea
It has already been observed that a decrease in salinity is harmful to herring.
At the turn of the millennium, it was noticed that climate change has an effect on the life of herring. Due to climate change, the amount of precipitation has increased and with it the salinity of the Baltic Sea water has decreased.
When water moves away from the Baltic Sea more regularly, salt pulses occur less frequently. When no new salty water comes from the Danish straits, the salinity of the Baltic Sea water is further diluted.
Due to the lower salinity, the diet of the herring has changed. Because of that, the herring lives in constant hunger. In 40 years, the herring has lost up to 50 percent of its weight.

The reason for this is the fir’s good cone crop during the previous few summers. The squirrel population has been calculated using game triangles and it describes the strength of the population in forest areas, but not in urban environments.
The squirrel is a declining species elsewhere in northern Finland, but in Kainuu the population has increased fivefold. …
Lahti Energia has said that electricity distribution may have to be limited for a short period of time on cold frosty days. Outages would only affect rural areas.
For example, dairy farms need electricity for milking. Sudden power outages produce additional work, especially if the backup power system does not start automatically. Illustration image. …
Last year, the laboratory-raised wrasse fry were returned to their home river, and they survived the winter. If the chicks survive to adulthood, the researchers have plenty of time to restore natural reproduction.
Microscopically small river pearl mussel chicks find a temporary home in the middle of the gravel and stones at the bottom of the plastic box.
A year ago, raw chicks grown in laboratory conditions were brought to Luttojoki. Luttojoki raakku is a very endangered species, and now their young have survived their first year of life in their home river.
Before the raccoon chicks get to live in natural waters, their growth and life are monitored in plastic boxes.
– From now on, the chicks’ growth will be monitored for a few years. The hope is that growth will take place, and in a few years the chicks will be released here at the bottom of the river, says Salonen.
A new type of research to revive the raw stock
Luttojoki raccoons have not been able to reproduce naturally for decades, even though the species has been protected for almost 70 years.
In the fall of 2020, larvae of clocids were collected from Luttojoe to be grown for the Konnevesi research institute. Raakku needs salmon to reproduce, which have not come up to the Luttojoki for decades after Russia dammed the Luttojoki.
Raakku, or river pearl mussel, is an endangered species whose life is wanted to be revived in northern waters. …
The makers of domestic films face a tough battle for autumn viewers. The record number of premieres is due to the corona restrictions that have lasted for two years.
The attraction of the mushroom tour is down to Martti Suosalo and Ville Myllyrinte. The film is marketed to a middle-aged audience. …
