In the early 1940´s started constructions of the waterpower plants and fish migration was hindered. Nowadays there are seven waterpower plants in the River Oulujoki and the whole river is harnessed for water production. Restorations of the Oulujoki River started at 1998 as the aim of restoring the river for recreation, fishing, and tourism. Merikoski fishway was the first step towards more natural river corridor and enabling migrating fish to rise up to the lower reaches of the river. In the beginning of 2009 North Ostrobothnian and Kainuu Centres for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment and Finnish Game and Fisheries Research Institute started the project “Oulujoki fishways - planning and supportive actions” funded by European Regional Development Fund. The object was to recreate habitats and reproduction areas for trout for the whole river length. As part of this project fishway plans for six other water power plants was made.
