Description
Auto-translated from fiMetsähallitus Metsätalous Oy is purchasing a comprehensive service for investigating the occurrence of the freshwater pearl mussel (Margaritifera margaritifera) using the environmental DNA (eDNA) method in watercourses. The investigations must be based on species-specific PCR-based eDNA analysis (qPCR or dPCR) and will focus on areas where watercourse restoration 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).
The watercourse restoration sites are still in the planning phase. The map appendices show the streams in state-owned multi-use forests flowing into the Simojoki (Appendix 2a Simojoki_MHMTOY-purot) and Hossanjoki (Appendix 2b Hossanjoki_Lounajoki) rivers, from which the restoration sites will be selected. The sites will be confirmed as restoration planning progresses in the summer of 2026, by August 25, 2026, at the latest.
The service provider will take samples in September 2026 after the restoration sites are confirmed. The final report of the investigation, including appendices, must be delivered to the client by January 26, 2027, at the latest.
