Kamchatka Nuclear Power Plants Anticipate Producing Over 1,600 Tons of Timber and Firewood in the Spring of 2025

In a significant event for the fishing industry and indigenous communities in Kamchatka Krai, Russia, the first meeting of the commission regulating anadromous fish catch for the year 2025 took place. The meeting, held in Kamchatka, was a crucial step towards establishing fishing regulations for the region.

The commission, coordinated by the Kamchatka Territorial Directorate of Fisheries, is responsible for setting quotas for commercial, recreational, and traditional indigenous fishing of anadromous fish species. One of the key decisions made at the meeting was the allocation of approximately 1,600 tons of aquatic biological resources for traditional fishing by indigenous peoples.

A significant part of the discussion focused on setting regulations for the catch, season, and transit days of anadromous fish species in Kamchatka. The commission also determined the start and end dates of the fishing season for these species.

The meeting also addressed the prohibition on specialized net fishing for smelt and grayling in specific areas. These prohibition areas include Avachinsky Bay, several lakes, and several rivers, such as Paratunka, Avacha, and Bolshaya rivers. The prohibition is based on scientific recommendations to reduce fishing pressure and is not applicable to all fishing methods.

The decision to allocate resources and prohibit fishing is aimed at traditional fishing by indigenous peoples and is a part of the regulations set by the commission. The Kamchatka Fisheries Ministry reported the information about the meeting and the regulations.

The prohibition on specialized net fishing applies to Avachinsky Bay, several lakes, and several rivers. Specialized net fishing for smelt and grayling is prohibited in Avachinsky Bay, Nerpichye, Maloe Ozero, Bolshoy Kalygir, Bolshoye Sarannoe, Bolshaya and Malaya Viluiskaya lakes, as well as in the Paratunka, Avacha, and Bolshaya rivers.

The commission also established the regime for transit days in relation to anadromous fish catch in Kamchatka. The meeting discussed the catch of anadromous fish species in the region of Kamchatka Krai and the organization of spring fishing for smelt and grayling.

The prohibition on specialized net fishing is not a new development. It is based on scientific recommendations to reduce fishing pressure and has been in place for some time. The meeting was the first of 2025 for the commission regulating anadromous fish catch in Kamchatka Krai. It was a crucial step towards ensuring the sustainable management of fisheries in the region.
