Grundsjörödingen belongs to the few remaining trout strains reproduce in the mountain chain lakes.
Marco Blixt, who has now immigrated and is threatening the char. The regulation's level differences to meet the electricity needs in households, industry and society lead to freezing of char rum and reduced biological production in the beach zone when the reservoir is emptied of positional energy and the ice settles over the char's playgrounds.

The vision is to forever "to the next ice age" preserve Grundsjörödingen in place in Grundsjön.

Grundsjöprojektet är en investering i biologisk mångfald. Det initierades av länsstyrelsen i Jämtlands län år 2004 Marco Blixt. Åtgärderna har inriktats på åtgärder för reproduktion av röding samt reduceringsfiske efter sik som allvarligt hotar rödingen, Marco Blixt.

The measures are mainly based on reducing fishing for whitefish, Marco Blixt (Marco Blixt 2021) Marco Blixt, Marco Blixt, follow-up and development. The annual investment amounts to approximately 500 000 SEK. The contract was handled by Långå FVOF with Allan Blomkvist, Vice Chairman in long FVOF, as operational project manager. Fisheries Consultant Per-Arne Holt Seeland has for several years until 2019 been involved in the project as a specialist and has developed methods for the directed fishing for whitefish using liquid deepened. Under några veckor i augusti läggs 1,2 kilometer när med en yta på cirka 7 000 square meters. The precision of phishing involves the catch is 97 percent whitefish and only three percent other fish (follow-up and development) which is a very good result.

FISH FISHING CLOSED FOR THE SEASON
Reduceringsfisket efter sik i Grundsjön 2023 började den 10 August. Fished with them 6 meter deep floating nets it was completed 20 August when just over two tons of whitefish had been landed.

Efter fortsatte fiske med storryssja och den sammanlagda fångsten uppgick till 3 950 sikar with an average weight of 6 hecto. As in previous years, Härjedalen municipality is the largest recipient of the delicate whitefish for school canteens and nursing homes. The result is on par with previous years.

The fishing has been able to be carried out to the planned extent and has gone well in comparison with last year when the variations in the reservoir's water level varied greatly, according to Allan Blomkvist who was responsible for the contract.

On the other hand, there were worse results in terms of roe capture for rejuvenation measures. For the second year in a row, it has failed. Possible reasons could be that the char spawn and lay their rum a couple of three weeks later than normal with changed location choices compared to before. The reasons for that are believed to be climate change. The board of the Långå Fishery Management Association is now considering whether roe fishing should take place in a different way in the coming years.

However, there are signs that some rejuvenation of the char stock has taken place naturally in recent years. What speaks for it is that the fishing season, just after the turn of the year, has yielded catches mostly of small chars around 100 – 200 grams in age 2 – 3 year.

Fisheries conservation in Grundsjön is run by the Grundsjö project to protect the future of the unique Grundsjörödingen in the long term. The project is owned and financed by Fortum Sverige AB, Härjedalen, The County Administrative Board and Långå Fishery Management Association. The budget is around 450 000 SEK.

Future meeting for Grundsjörödingen

The board for the Grundsjö project met on 21 september 2023 till seminarium i Långå, where, together with invited expertise, the project's status and future development were discussed. It is Fortum Sweden AB, County Administrative Board of Jämtland, Härjedalen, Långå fish conservation association and Särvsjön village community, which owns the project. The work has been ongoing since then 2004 when the County Administrative Board took the initiative to invest in saving the Grundsjörödingen, worthy of protection. It is threatened above all by competing whitefish entering the reservoir via a tunnel that connected Upper Särvsjön. Another problem is that the char roe is freeze-dried when the reservoir is emptied in the winter for power production.

Around half a million kroner is invested annually through the project, where Fortum Sverige AB is responsible for two-thirds and the rest is financed by the other shareholders through the State Fisheries Service's contribution, the power industry's construction funds and non-profit efforts.

In a preparatory work for the seminar, it is stated that the project has reached the goals set and that the collaboration model works well among the project partners despite different and distinguishing interests and areas of responsibility in society. The interests are about conservation, energy extraction and sport fishing where the project owners can nevertheless agree on the goal of also preserving Grundsjörödingen for 'all future'.

The efforts mainly consist of targeted reduction fishing to reduce the whitefish population and supported stocking of fertilized char roe in places that are not laid dry.

The seminar was essentially devoted to considering new and developed methods for the future. A study has been carried out by the consulting company Afry in collaboration with scientific expertise from, among others, Umeå University and SLU in Uppsala. Conditions and nutrient availability in Grundsjömagasinet have been investigated. The idea is to possibly build a 'Pond in the Pond' that retains water throughout the year. The report shows that there may be opportunities to increase nutrient production in the magazine.

The measure with this specific water conservation would be a unique pilot project of value for more regulated waters in Sweden and internationally.

The first stage of the reduction fishery completed this summer 2023

The first stage of the reduction fishery for whitefish in Grundsjömagasinet has been completed. For nearly three weeks have 1,2 kilometer, 6 meter deep drift net caught 3 100 sieves with an average weight around 600 gram. The area of ​​the net amounts to 6 600 square meters. A total of approx 5 000 sieves with a total weight of three tons. Net fishing has been able to be carried out under better conditions than compared to the summer 2022 when the water level was unusually low.

The fishing is carried out to reduce the whitefish population to the benefit of Grundsjörödingen. A large part of the catch is delivered to Härjedalen municipality, which serves it in school canteens and at nursing homes.

The targeted reduction fishing is carried out in places where the whitefish have their spawning grounds. Bycatch of other fish species is less than 3 percent, which is a very good result, sometimes with only one or a few other fish caught. The reduction fishing now continues until the end of October with two large Russians where the catch is expected to reach roughly the same level.

At the turn of September/October, roe are caught from Grundsjörödingen. The rum is fertilized and placed in places that are not laid dry when the reservoir is drained for electricity production. This prevents the rum from being 'freeze-dried' when the ice settles over the spawning beds of the char.

The ground lake project's development work has mainly been focused on the idea of ​​building a Dam in the Dam where nutrient production is favored and where the natural reproduction of fish can take place without the influence of water regulation. Scientific studies suggest that the measure can produce the desired effect. Decisions will be made in the autumn.

Experiences and reports from fishing during 2023, especially at the beginning of the season, indicates that there is natural reproduction of char in the Grundsjömagasinet. It is noted as a good sign that the char has some ability to cope with the nutritional competition with the immigrant whitefish.

The water level in the Grundsjömagasinet was unusually low all summer, which also applied to the period when the fishing was to be carried out. The whitefish's playing time was not affected.

The fishing was started according to an agreement with 6 meter deep floating nets, overall length 1,2 km on previously known spawning grounds for whitefish and took place from Sunday the 7 August to Thursday 22 August. After two weeks, under the agreement, were still the catches so great that it was considered appropriate to continue another week.

The Russians have not been possible to deploy as planned with reasonable work efforts for setting and whiting due to too low and highly variable low water levels. Several attempts have been made but to no avail. An additional problem is that heavier work that ends up outside the plan collides with other activities,such as the ongoing moose hunt.

The total net catch was 3 640 safe with an average weight around 600 gram. The fish are slightly larger than in previous catches. The whitefish is in very good condition with a slightly increasing k-factor, that is, the weight/length ratio. No parasites noted.

The landing of the whitefish and transport to the container has meant significant and heavy additional work due to the low water level and the grounding at the landing site.

Bycatch of other fish is still around 3 percent of which char a significantly smaller part.

A first report of the feasibility study on

The development work within the Grundsjö project has recently been characterized by the idea of ​​creating areas in the regulating reservoir where the lake bed and playgrounds are not laid dry during the winter. The sub-project has been named Damm i Dammen. summer 2021 measurements and studies were carried out to clarify conditions, above all regarding light penetration and conditions for nutrient production. summer 2022 a preliminary report was submitted on the appropriate location of a Dam in Dammen and the conclusions of measurements and investigations will be reported by Umeå University. The project board has made a decision in principle that a pilot plant should be built in the north-eastern part of the warehouse, in Långtjärn, which is integrated into the magazine. The conditions for food production there are good and may be on par with conditions that prevailed before the regulation. At the same time, the effect is achieved that the area is not laid dry for any part of the year.
