Out and about with the electric fishing boat: the fish are caught, briefly stunned, fitted with a transmitter, and then released back into the water.

SRF report "Research in Swiss Rivers"

October 24, 2025 | Michelle Achermann-Sidler

In this report, SRF Regionaljournal Aargau Solothurn provides information about our project ‘Climate Change and Fish Movement Patterns’. This relatively new research project in the major rivers of Aargau is attracting widespread public interest.

Where do fish migrate in the Aare, Rhine, or Reuss rivers? Do fish change their routes when water temperatures rise? How can this knowledge be used to renovate power plants in a “fish-friendly” way?

This report, in Swiss German, documents the project's objectives and the methods used to collect data.
