Kamchatka nuclear power plants set to produce over 1,600 metric tons of wood logs and timber in the spring of 2025.
In a significant move to conserve anadromous fish species in the Kamchatka region, the Kamchatka Fisheries Society held a meeting in 2025, the first of the year in Kamchatka Krai. The meeting, reported by the Kamchatka Fisheries Ministry, aimed to regulate the catch of these species.
The decisions made at the meeting set quotas for commercial fishing, recreational fishing, and traditional fishing by indigenous peoples. Notably, specialized net fishing for smelt and grayling was prohibited in specific water bodies. These include Avachinsky Bay, Nerpichye, Maloe Ozero, Bolshoy Kalygir, Bolshoye Sarannoe, Bolshaya and Malaya Viluia lakes, Paratunka, Avacha, and Bolshaya rivers.
The fishing restrictions are based on scientific recommendations to reduce fishing pressure. The organization that allocated approximately 1,600 tons of live marine resources to traditional fishing by indigenous peoples in Kamchatka in 2025 is the Russian Federal Agency for Fisheries.
The meeting also discussed the organization of spring fishing for smelt and grayling. A regime for transit days was established, and the start and end dates of the fishing season were determined.
It is worth noting that no fishing restrictions were specified for commercial or recreational fishing, outside of the specialized net fishing ban for smelt and grayling in the specified water bodies.
This move towards regulating the catch of anadromous fish species is part of a larger effort to ensure the sustainability of fisheries in the Kamchatka region. The decisions made at the meeting will undoubtedly contribute to the conservation of these valuable fish species for future generations.
