Research conducted on the Megre River by employees of the Northern Branch of VNIRO

 

The branch's specialists conducted control catches to determine the species composition of fish in the Megra River, determined the areas of spawning and nursery grounds (SRN) and the density of young Atlantic salmon in SRN, and collected hydrobiological samples.

 

The work yielded data on the size and weight characteristics, sex ratio, and maturity stages of gonads in young salmon, collected biomaterial for genetic analysis of young Atlantic salmon, and collected recording structures for office determination of fish age. Pink salmon, pike, and whitefish were also found in the catches.

 

The collected material will be used to assess the number of aquatic bioresources, prepare forecast materials, substantiate the raw material base of fisheries, and develop measures to regulate fisheries.
