Fish migrations in the context of Poland

We associate spring and autumn with bird migrations. Nevertheless, other organisms, including so-called bi-environmental fish, also move long distances during these seasons. Therefore, World Fish Migration Day is celebrated either on May 16 or October 24. In mid-May, migration ends and egg-laying begins in many sturgeon, including the western Acipenser sturio and the Baltic Acipenser oxyrinchus oxyrinchus.
