During nice winter we have had possibility to make a lot of fieldwork. Monitoring of the conditions of the oxbow lakes is showing that the oxbow lakes, where the connection with Emajõgi river is re-opened are much better comparing to those, which are totally disconnected or the connection is very narrow. Also, there is a big difference if the migration routes are opened all the time or most of the time closed. Einar Kärgenberg measuring oxygen at Rõhu oxbow lake, march 2012 Fieldwork during winter
