Flora and Fauna in the Regatta Trough
In addition to the brook and rainbow trout already introduced into the regatta course for the Olympic Games, which were intended to prevent excessive growth of aquatic plants, other fish species such as carp, pike, perch and eels were later added. In 2006, 3,000 noble crayfish were also relocated from Lake Eibsee to the clean water of the Oberschleißheim regatta course to give them a better chance of survival.
