In the clay area of ​​West-Brabant a sizeable weatherfish population has been discovered. The old creek remnants and many kilometers of ditches prove to be an important habitat for this rare fish. During RAVON research even juvenile weatherfishes were caught in the middle of an intense greenhouse area.
