The meeting was attended by representatives of the Azov-Black Sea Territorial Directorate of Rosrybolovstvo, the Prosecutor's Office of the Shcherbinovsky district, the FSB Department for the Krasnodar Territory, the UEBiPK of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, the Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, the Ministry of Agriculture of the Krasnodar Territory, the Southern Interregional Rosselkhoznadzor Administration, the administrations of municipalities of the Krasnodar Territory, the Azov-Don branch of Glavrybvod.
The southern branch of the SSC RF "All-Russian Research Institute of Fisheries and Oceanography" (VNIRO) was represented by Igor Churikov, Deputy Head of the branch, and Anton Polin, Head of the Aquaculture Center.
Along with the protection of aquatic biological resources and the fight against IUU fishing, during the meeting, much attention was paid to the issue of the functioning of spawning and growing farms.
"Spawning and growing farms are of key importance in the conservation of valuable semi-passable species of walleye and ram. At the same time, in recent years, against the background of ongoing climatic changes and anthropogenic factors, there has been a systematic undersupply of spawning and growing farms with water resources, which has an extremely negative impact on their work efficiency. The lack of proper measures can lead to a significant deterioration in fish reproduction conditions and the possible occurrence of conditions for the death of aquatic biological resources," said Anton Polin, head of the Aquaculture Center of VNIRO's Southern Branch.
The branch's specialists emphasized the need to analyze the current state of hydraulic structures (including on the Yeya River, where the problem of low water availability is particularly acute this year), including the identification of illegal GTS or those of no economic importance, their elimination, as well as the organization of control over the volume of water abstraction for agricultural needs in accordance with the permitted volumes..
The implementation of these measures is necessary in order to prevent the deterioration of fish reproduction conditions and the possible occurrence of conditions for the death of aquatic biological resources.
For reference: VNIRO specialists regularly monitor the activities of spawning and growing farms. Currently, work is underway to collect material on the entry of producers, assess their condition and habitat conditions at the Yeisk Experimental Farm for fish breeding and reproduction. In the near future, comprehensive work is planned at the Beisugsky, Chernoerkovsky and Vostochno-Akhtarsky farms of the Krasnodar Territory.
