Walking countercurrent is part of life as a fish. Uddevalla wants to benefit from this in the center. Today, the fish cannot migrate very far into Bäveån. The municipality now wants to change that. 

In the summer, a couple of obstacles will be removed upstream, and in the future it is hoped that the fish will be able to hike all the way to Öresjö, between Lilla Edet and Trollhättan.

Want to make the center attractive

The fish counter is a first step to find out how much and what type of fish wants upstream.

According to the Christer Hasslebäck municipal council, the opportunity to catch their food in Bäveån is a way to make the city center more attractive.

- It will be a Klondike for fishermen to stand in central Uddevalla, he says.
