The first sturgeon graduation

On May 7, at the Scientific and Experimental Aquaculture Complex "BIOS" of the Volga-Caspian branch of the State Scientific Center of the Russian Federation "All-Russian Research Institute of Fisheries and Oceanography" (VNIRO), with the participation of the commission monitoring the implementation of work on the artificial reproduction of aquatic biological resources, the first release of sturgeon juveniles this year was carried out.
 
0.540 million pieces of Russian sturgeon juveniles with an average weight of 3 g were released into the natural environment.
 
Releases of sturgeon juveniles support the existence of populations of these relict fish in the Caspian Sea. The Russian Federation makes a decisive contribution to the restoration of Caspian sturgeon stocks.
