In the spring of 2026 a new project is starting where we are tracking planktivorous and piscivorous Arctic charr in Thingvallavatn.

This project is a collaboration between Hafrannsóknastofnun and the University of Iceland.

 

How are we tracking these fish?

Thirty-one acoustic receivers will be deployed in the lake in a grid-like manner after which they will stay in the lake for the next several years.
