Hundreds of pike fish trapped in a lake in Tyresö, Sweden were rescued in a three-day community effort that concluded this week. According to reports from TT news agency, approximately 300 pike were at risk of freezing in the ice but were saved by a group of Tyresö residents. The volunteers used nets, buckets, and their bare hands to carry the fish to open water.
Rolf Stohr, who participated in the rescue operation, stated: 'We didn't really understand how big this was at the time. ' The rescue effort reportedly involved local residents working together over three days to prevent the fish from freezing in the icy conditions. The incident highlights community environmental action during winter conditions in the Stockholm archipelago region.
We didn't really understand how big this was at the time. Not until we were finished and made an estimate of how many fish we had saved - it was about 300.
