The Russian Ministry of Agriculture proposes to extend restrictions on industrial salmon fishing in the Far East until December 31, 2024. The corresponding draft order is posted on the portal of regulatory legal acts.
“The draft order provides for the closure of industrial fishing for Pacific salmon until December 31, 2024: in the internal sea waters of the Russian Federation and in the territorial sea of the Russian Federation adjacent to the territory of the Kamchatka Territory in the Sea of Okhotsk, with a latitude limit of 51°49′ N. w. up to 52°25′ N. se." – noted in the explanatory note.
The ban applies to fishing using fixed seines with a length of the central cable of the fixed seine, measured from the point of its attachment on the shore to the head buoy towards the sea, of more than 1,500 meters and having more than two traps. In the Bay of Corfu, it is proposed to prohibit the fishing of salmon using fixed nets with the length of the central cable of the fixed net, measured from the point of its attachment on the shore to the head buoy towards the bay, being more than 1500 meters.
The Ministry of Agriculture also proposes to close industrial salmon fishing in the Amur River until December 31, 2024. The ban applies to fishing using floating nets longer than 100 meters; the use of fixed seines of the “drive-in” type with a central wing length of more than 1000 meters downstream from the city of Nikolaevsk-on-Amur (below the line with coordinates 53°06'45" N 140°42'10" E - 53°08'13" N 140°41'25" E).
On the Amur River, the department proposes to prohibit until December 31 of this year the fishing of salmon using floating nets more than 100 meters long when fishing with the provision of a fishing area; using floating nets more than 75 meters long when fishing without providing a fishing area. This will help preserve the traditional way of life of the indigenous peoples of the North, Siberia and the Far East, the note specifies.
