Highly migratory species such as trout can pass thanks to an old fish ladder. In addition to improving fish migration in the watercourse, the measure will also restore the reclaimed stretch of stream. Restoring the stream channel will benefit species that thrive in flowing water. The measure is expected to have extensive positive effects on the ecosystem and biodiversity both in River R\u00e5\u00e5n but also in the Sound.
