On both banks of the canal, near the pumping station, you can fish sea bass, bream, anchovy, flat head grey bream or buccich”s , as well as eel and common sole. Fish flocks into the canal because of the nutrients collected from the waters of the canals that circulate the plains of Lezha and are drawn to the sea by the Tale pumping station.

Often the pumping station pulls out damaged fish from the pump propellers. It is not recommended to collect them of the infections they may have received from the wounds because the waters flowing in the pumping station are collected from all the villages to the east of it and have not previously passed through a cleaning collector.
