NetherlandsThe fish doorbell at Utrecht's Weerdsluis has been turned off again after the spring fishing season, according to the city of Utrecht. This season, the live stream of the fish passage was viewed 12 million times by 900,000 people. The system allows viewers to alert authorities if they spot fish, which then triggers a check by ecologists. If enough fish are present, the sluice may be opened. Most visitors this year came from the United States, followed by the Netherlands and Germany. The system has become an international attraction, with over 80,000 viewers from Poland watching the stream. The city described this season as the most surprising yet due to the variety of fish species observed, including rare ones like the slender-lipped gudgeon and pike-perch, possibly indicating improved water quality.
