Luossajarvi is a small 260-acre lake in Kiruna in northern Sweden beside Luossavaara. The mining business enterprise LKAB has steadily emptied the southern a part of the lake in 2007-eight to allow mining of iron ore in the peat lavatory. These tired areas these days include mainly marshes. The last portion of the lake has a chemical composition which suggests the have an effect on of mining sports. The lake has high concentrations of sulphate and nitrite. The excessive sulfate concentrations imply big weathering tactics of specially carbonate and sulphorous substances. F

ishing is practised on, and each winter ice fishing contests are held out on the ice. The call Luossajärvi derives from the rich variety of trout that were within the lake. The original shares consisted of perch, trout and pike, but those are actually depleted to the factor that now best perch certainly stay. The spawning floor for the natural brown trout populations has disappeared due to the mining. However, different fish species have now been planted into the lake, consisting of whitefish, grayling, char, rainbow trout and splake.
