We had a visit from Inland Fisheries today. It was very exciting as we got to see a lot of fish up close. Below are some of the photos for you to see.
Small roach and perch - stripy
Roach and Perch
Brook Lamprey
They live in the mud for a number of years before maturing. These young lampreys are blind and are filter feeders, eating organic matter. Brook lamprey spawn during April and May in streams and rivers all over Ireland. The adult Brook lamprey is relatively small, up to 15 cm in length. They are eel-shaped fish with a sucker-like mouth instead of jaws.
They spawn in gravel areas, loosening stones and excavating shallow nests or redds. They can use their sucker mouth to lift and move stones and pebbles
The white clawed crayfish only likes clean water.
