Description

Auto-translated from fi

Metsähallitus Metsätalous Oy is purchasing a comprehensive service for investigating the occurrence of the freshwater pearl mussel (Margaritifera margaritifera) in rivers using the environmental DNA (eDNA) method. The investigations must be based on species-specific PCR-based eDNA analysis (qPCR or dPCR) and will focus on areas where river restoration measures will be carried out. The procurement is divided into two parts: investigations in the Lapland region (Simojoki river basin) and the Ostrobothnia-Kainuu region (Hossanjoki river basin). At the time of the tender publication, the river restoration sites were still in the planning phase. The map attachments to the tender request show the streams in state multi-use forests flowing into the Simojoki and Hossanjoki rivers, from which the restoration sites will be selected. The sites will be confirmed as the restoration planning progresses during the summer of 2026, by the end of August 2026 at the latest. The service provider will take samples during September 2026 after the restoration sites have been confirmed. The final report of the investigation, including attachments, must be submitted to the client by 26.1.2027.
