Summary:	In this international project, various methods for restoring the balance in fish communities have been implemented in lakes with algal blooms. We have developed and refined fishery strategies with the purpose of minimizing the costs and protecting and promoting the valuable predatory fish. By fyke nets and seines, we have fished up bream and roach. A consequence of this fishery was clear lake water that in turn improved the recreation area and increased the tourist value. The fish catch was successively used by humans as food. The small fish became an excellent feed for storks in a stork breeding project.
