At the Fish brooks of Kvarken - Eero Murtomäki

Brooks and brooklets that flow from a peculiar kind of enclosed natural pools -- called kluuvi -- and lakes into the sea, are typical for the eastern coast of Merenkurkku/Kvarken and its archipelago. Upstream the brooks filled with water from the melting snow, pike, perch and roach move to spawn in the freshwater of the kluuvi-pools and lakes. During the springtime when the sea still is ice-covered and the food supply -- especially in April -- is scarce, the open brook-mouths and the soon uncovered brook beds with freely and swiftly flowing water, offer both local sea eagles and the gulls and goosanders returning from their migration possibilities to catch fish. Also a crane-couple are early visitors at the fish-brooks -- fishers as they are in the archipelago. The abundance of fishes and the numerous greedily eating birds, entice both foxes and raccoon dogs to come to the brooks. At one of the brooks even a wolf has been observed. The migration of the fishes upstream to the freshwaters and back again into the sea, goes on from April to June. At the latest around Midsummer the brooks go dry and the gorge on fishes is finished.
