Der Angelverein Prüm in den Medien und interessante Inhalte über Gewässer der Region ... headlines SGD - North 25-09-17 SGD Nord: photovoltaic system for the species protection project "Eifel brown trout" - Around 75,000 euros in funding to the fishing club Prüm The state of Rhineland-Palatinate supported the “Eifeler brown trout” conservation project on the Our with around EUR 75,000. With the funds, the fishing club Prüm was able to build a photovoltaic system for ventilation and water circulation of the fish farm "In der Litzer". The Structural and Approval Directorate (SGD) North, as the upper fisheries authority, is responsible for the financial handling of the support. “With the promotion of this measure and with the annual support of the association of 7,500 euros, the state of Rhineland-Palatinate is helping to spread the brown trout and to preserve this endangered species. In addition, the work done by the Prüm fishing association on a voluntary basis can be seen as a trend-setting project for the management of flowing waters, ”said SGD North President Dr. Ulrich Kleemann. In cooperation with the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, the pond "In der Litzer" was created for the breeding of the Eifel brook trout and a hatchery was built. The Prüm fishing club has been successfully breeding Eifel brown trout there for 26 years. The endangered animals are raised in the pond and released back after a year. The aim is to stabilize the stock of animals in the streams and rivers of the Eifel. The content-related species conservation project "Preservation of the river pearl mussel" also benefits from the measures of the association. The Eifel brook trout are particularly suitable as host animals for the larvae of the river pearl mussel. The young trout in the pond facilities of the association are infected with the larvae of the pearl mussel and can ripen in the gills of the trout for nine months before they fall off. However, due to the low rainfall in the summer periods of the past few years, the association had to pay very high diesel costs for the pump units used to ventilate the breeding pools of the pond system. In order to avoid the use of expensive diesel fuel, the association carried out a study on the electrification of the pond system. The result led to a self-sufficient photovoltaic system. The procurement of the facility was financed 100 percent by the joint border fisheries commission, which consists of Luxembourg and the federal states of Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland. Background: The state of Rhineland-Palatinate supports two related conservation projects in the area of Prüm and in the area of Seving / Dahnen (Our). The “Eifeler brown trout” project promotes the spread of domestic brown trout. The second project is concerned with the "conservation of the river pearl mussel" as the last left Rhine population in Rhineland-Palatinate. The association of Prüm has acquired land for the construction of five fish ponds exclusively for this purpose. Funding was provided by the state of Rhineland-Palatinate. The "In der Litzer" facility was entrusted to the Prüm fishing association to carry out the conservation projects by lease. SGD - North Weekly mirror 08-09-17 Waters and fish are at risk District of Bitburg / Prüm . Food warnings for fish, species extinction and a decline in stocks spoil fishing fun. Predicament of the farmers Holger Weber, member of the Biersdorf am See municipal council, sees a connection between algal bloom and the enormously increased maize cultivation area, which is particularly susceptible to soil erosion, through which fertilizers and toxins get into the water. Logical conclusion: reduce corn acreage. "That would be the most efficient measure, but it should provide explosives," Weber estimates. After all, agriculture had been lured for years by subsidies for the construction of biogas plants and the associated lucrative maize cultivation. »Subsidy policies and a lack of sales alternatives in the face of low milk and meat prices combined with rising additional costs have steered agriculture in this branch of production and often offer the only chance of survival for the farms.« Bil The Eifel has numerous waters that make you want to go fishing, but what is pulled out of the water is not always safe. In addition, the decline in species tarnishes the pleasure. Authorities issue food warnings, dead fish are floating on the Welschbilligerbach and it is not the first time that poisonous blue-green algae are spreading on the Moselle and the Bitburg reservoir. "It is particularly bad again this year," says Herbert Schneider, fisheries adviser to the Eifel district since 1995. The cause is an excessively high nutrient level in combination with sun exposure, which promotes algae growth. We recently reported that the Eifel was a "fishing paradise" because of its flowing waters and varied areas. "We have very big problems," says Schneider, speaking of eutrophic waters, declining fish stocks and the displacement of native fish species by fish that do not belong here, such as the goby or the catfish. They make pike, zander and perch difficult for survival. The illegal stocking of catfish in Sauer, Our and Mosel will be the subject of the next meeting of the Border Fisheries Commission. Schneider's criticism also focuses on questionable fishing practices. We are talking about "catch an release", ie catching and releasing, which involves fishing for the largest fish possible, in order to be photographed with the capital catch and then to reset the animals - with a low survival rate. "This method of inflicting pain, suffering and damage on fish out of a desire to compete and pure addiction to profiling is a clear violation of the Animal Welfare Act," says Schneider. He also sees worm fishing and spin fishing with triplets critically: This procedure results in severe losses in stocks of young fish, trout and grayling. According to Schneider, individual fish species on Prüm, Nims and Kyll are already threatened with extinction. This includes eel, grayling and nose. In Schneider's opinion, agriculture is also responsible for the decline in fish stocks. If fields bordered directly on water, this would result in sludge being washed in and nutrients such as phosphate and nitrogen getting into the water. Schneider therefore sees a solution in the designation of wide riparian strips to protect the waters from discharges. Over-fertilization is one of the causes The consumption warnings of SGD Nord show how urgently something has to be done for water protection. For fish from the Spangerbach, for example, which runs west of the Spangdahlem base and flows into the Kyll, it is important to eat a maximum of one trout per month. For the kyll fish below Hüttingen there is about the same consumption warning. The cause of these burdens, which also affect the Sauerland border and the Moselle, are in particular contaminated sites caused by military properties. Eating is completely discouraged. Agnes Tillmann-Steinbuß, chairwoman of the BUND district group Bitburg-Prüm, also confirms a clearly noticeable decline in species in the Eifel, which not only affects fish. She blames chemical poisons, climate change, over-fertilization and the use of pesticides for this. She also sees dangers for people from drinking water: "Over-fertilization and soil erosion cause excessive nitrate pollution in the water - these are also dangers for drinking water." The SGD Nord warns of blue-green algae that spread on the Bitburg reservoir and the Moselle. These green streaks are formed by cyanobacteria, which can form harmful substances. Water and bank areas with a clear green color should be avoided. The water of the Bitburg reservoir has been examined. Result: A significant breach of the alarm level that the Federal Environment Agency has set for the chlorophyll concentration. Reinhold Kotz of the Bitburger Land association does not see a short-term solution, even if all nutrient and sediment supply is stopped immediately. An investigation should provide information on where the polluting substances come from.

Geschichte des Angelverein Prüm und dem Stausee Willwerath Founded in 1967, the association has been located at the Willwerath reservoir since 1971, where the club's home, the "Anglerklause", is also located. For more than 50 years we have always tried to offer our members and guest anglers a wide range of local species for fishing. Whether it is predatory fish such as pike, pikeperch, perch, brook trout and eel or fried fish such as scale carp, mirror carp, tench, bream and roach, there should be something for everyone. However, we are particularly proud of the original "Eifel brown trout" from our own offspring, the preservation of which has become a main goal of the association. So in 1991 it came about that, in close cooperation with the state of Rhineland-Pfalz, we run the species conservation project "Eifeler brown trout and river pearl mussel" - two species whose survival is inextricably linked. Our brood house and the pond “In der Litzer”, specially built for this purpose, enable successful breeding in natural ponds to expose the trout in streams in the region and thus also to redistribute the pearl mussel. Another important focus is to give young anglers and those who want to become an easy entry into this interesting hobby. For example, we organize a youth camp for our club youth and interested parties and, provided there are enough participants, we endeavor to have courses for obtaining the federal fishing license held in the Anglerklause. Visit us at the Willwerath reservoir and learn more about the diverse possibilities that the fishing club Prüm 1967 eV offers you as an angler and nature lover.

Die Äsche - seltener Flussbewohner The grayling ... ... beautiful and threatened thymallus thymallus ... it is considered to be the most colorful local fish, it is the leading fish of the river region of the "grayling region" and fish of the year 2011. But the "flag bearer" has become a rarity in our waters or has completely disappeared. Grayling stand in the middle water, show no escape behavior and do not seek cover like brown trout would. So they are usually the first to fall prey to the invading cormorants. In most cases, however, water pollution from agriculture and industry, but also the construction of rivers and the associated reduction in shallow water zones, which are indispensable for larvae and juveniles, as well as the warming of the water is a main reason for a decline in stocks. The grayling Thymallus thymallus due to the large, striking dorsal fin also called the flag bearer belongs to the family of salmonids (salmon-like). In many places, committed associations are trying to preserve the species in their waters through stocking measures. However, it is scarcely possible to support established tribes with outside stocking. It is more promising to remove parent animals from existing populations that have already undergone a regional adaptation genetically. By breeding these animals it is possible to rebuild a stock "from below". It is a misconception that the use of adult animals is the right way. These can usually not adapt and contribute little, if any, to the natural reproduction of inventory. The search begins ... ... so it happened that in 2018 we started looking for a source for suitable grayling parents or fertilized eggs. Only a few are dedicated to the breeding of grayling, as a rule, breeders encounter animals that have been imported from Sweden / Denmark, if any statements about their origin are made. Our colleagues from Switzerland recognized the signs of the times and started a breeding program very early on. But after several conversations it was clear that no suitable material could be obtained here either - the Rhine Falls near Neuhausen represent a natural obstacle to hiking and the grayling trunks above and below differ genetically too much to be able to bring them into our waters.

Gewässerverschmutzung und Verdrängung der Bachforelle Project work since 1991 Eifel brown trout and Pearl mussel The starting point Due to the increasing pollution of the waters and the displacement of the brown trout, two species were "on the brink" in Rhineland-Palatinate in the early 1990s. The brown trout (lat. Salmo trutta fario) prefers the fast and turbulent flowing, as well as oxygen-rich and summer-cold upper reaches of rivers. It is a district builder and the leading fish species of the "trout region" named after it. The brown trout hunts its prey, predominantly insects, insect larvae living in the water, but also small fish such as minnows, gudgeons or paddocks from the cover of tree roots that protrude into the water or washed-down bank areas. During the spawning season, which extends from late autumn to the winter months, the brown trout migrate upstream to spawn in gravelly areas, sometimes in the smaller side streams. It was found that the brown trout rises to the smallest brooks. In the last century, the brown trout was widespread in all running waters in the trout and grayling region. Spawning areas have been lost or silted up due to water pollution and the technical expansion of small streams, as well as the entry of washed-off arable crumbs in agricultural areas, which has had a negative impact on the breeding success of brown trout and unfortunately still does. So it was no wonder that the brown trout in Rhineland-Palatinate was often found only in smaller stocks and in 1987 on the Red List "endangered species" was recorded. On the other hand, a decrease in the population and habitat loss was observed in the river pearl mussel as early as 1800. It was not until the end of the 1960s that intensive studies on the pearl mussel and its rapid decline in population began at several locations. In the years 1985-1987 a comprehensive inventory check of the pearl mussel stocks in the FRG was carried out. It was found that the stocks on the right bank of the Rhine had already expired and the stocks on the left bank of the Rhine only existed at 5 locations, four of which were in the Eifel and one in the Hohen Venn. In 1985 it was decided to take measures to safeguard existence.

Die Brutanlage des AV Prüm im Wandel der Zeit Our "nursery" The hatchery Return From the Brunnenstube to the hatchery Load More .... after the renovation After the extensive renovation work in 2008, during which the dilapidated floor and ceiling were renewed, in the following years the complete water supply, water enrichment, and filtering and the entire electrical installation were brought up to date, the hatchery is equipped with additional breeding channels, holding tanks and one unique, experimental electrostatic hatcher ready for the future. Time travel to 2006 - functional but shaky. In the meantime getting old and the growing number of eggs no longer growing, it was time to change something. Extensive work was required to ensure that our water attendants were able to offer a better and safer workplace for the complex and time-consuming brood care. The wooden planks were dangerously slippery and sometimes fragile - light was only donated by a weak, outdated neon tube in the dark winter months. For the breeding season 2007/2008 this should be a thing of the past. After many hours of voluntary work and with the help of donations from the RWE, the "new" hatchery was handed over to the water body on time. Before the breeding ground of our "Eifeler brown trout" had moved to the hatchery in the early 90s, there was the Brunnenstube. The Brunnenstube is located about 2 km from today's hatchery. The spring water collected here used to supply drinking water. However, since the line dates from before World War I and therefore no longer meets today's drinking water production standards, it was made available to the association. So it happened that the first offspring were bred in this 1.2 m wide, 3 m deep and 2.4 m high shaft in 2 breeding channels. About 7 rungs of a rusty ladder were used to get into the shaft, to sort out dead eggs in the light of a flashlight and later to take care of the seedlings. The Brunnenstube is a bit "off the beaten path" so that it was actually not reasonable to do the brood service alone in winter, at a time when the cell phone was still a dream of the future. The logical consequence - the hatchery - which made life a lot easier at the time, is now a presentable hatchery. Unfortunately, we do not have any pictures from this period. The photos of the Brunnenstube shown here date from 2015. At that time there was a decline in the water supply in the hatchery, which was due to the leaking pipework in the Brunnenstube. This dates from the early 90s and can be seen in the pictures. Below again the plant in the brood house 2017 in direct comparison to the Brunnenstube - It clearly shows the long way we have taken since the beginning of the project. A path that we can rightly be proud of. Here the hatchery in 1994. It shows Erhard Nieder and Klaus Abels fishing off the seedlings. These were placed in the fountain room for the last time in 1993 and later (spring 94) transported to the incubator. It was then completely finished in 1995 with the completion of the plastering work. For the next 13 years, the system served the association well and paved the way for more than 2 million small brown trout to escape. Today, 14 years after the renovation, we are already over 4 million and there is still no end in sight.
