Target images – rearing environments

A dead tree lies over a stream. In the stream, there are also many rocks and larger stones. The water flow is slow. — A restored rapid where stones and blocks that were previously cleared have been returned. The new environment is diverse, with plenty of rocks, dead wood, and areas that are both shallow and slightly deeper. There are also shallower areas with good water flow alongside the main channel of the water. These areas work well as habitats for young fish, providing them with the opportunity to hide among structures such as rocks and blocks.

A shallow part of the stream beside the main channel of the stream. The shallow part has lots of stones and bolders — A natural rocky shallow area closer to the shore. The area is located alongside the main channel of the stream, which has been cleared for timber floating. The shallow area is diverse, with stones of various sizes, and has good water flow. It serves as a suitable habitat for, among other species, trout, providing them with good protection.

A small section of the river near the shore has lower water flow than the main channel and lots of stones. — A rocky shallow area closer to the shore, beside the main channel of the stream. The shallow area is diverse, with stones of various sizes, and has good water flow. It works well as a habitat for, among other species, trout, providing good protection.

Stones in a river covered with grass patches. — A natural stone-rich area on the left side that has been left untouched during the timber floating clearance. Together with the restored spawning beds upstream, the area serves as a good habitat for juvenile fish.
