River Fishing

There are large reserves of rever fish in the Caspian Sea basin rivers, especially, in the Volga River delta, such as: Caspian roach, pike-perch, wild carp, bream, etc. Volumes of these reserves change with the sea level fluctuations - with the level falling the conditions for fish reproduction deteriorate. But volumes of fishing can be maintained at more or less stable level if fishing conditions - make it possible to widen or shrink die fishing area.

To solve this problem it is necessary to re-tool in the proper way ail fishing vessels irvespective of their ownership.

Sea Fishing.

The main catch of sea fishing in the Astrakhan Region is sprats. Experts estimate total commercial reserves of sprats at 230 thousand tons. Russian share (the Astrakhan Region and Dagestan) is about 120 thousand tons. In practice the Astrakhan Region fleet catches slightly over 61 thousand tons.

The main reason for such low catch is a shortage of fishing vessels.

Until 1980 the fisheries industry fleet in the Astrakhan Region regularly got new vessels with freezer-holds for catching the Caspian sprats. In subsequent years many vessels came to the end of their normal service life.

Now fishing enterprises of the Region have: 3 fishing and processing small vessels of the Volga type, 20 fishing and processing vessels of the Moryana type. 10 fishing vessels with freezer-holds of the 502 М design and 7 fats-and meal factory vessels of the 1375 design. Out of this number vessels of the Kaspiy type and the fats-and-meal factories are beyond their normal service life. Besides privatized fishind vessels of the Kasprybholodflot fleet are sometimes used for other purposes.

By now development is completed and technical documentation is ready for new types of vessels - of the 12921 design (instead of the Kaspiy-type vessels) and of the 70270R design.

Building such vessels, equipping them with modem fishing implements can become a target for cooperation of.Astrakhan fishing and fish-processing enterprises with domestic and foreign investor-partners.

Maintenance of stable equilibrium of the Caspian Sea environmental system.

Such natural events adversely affect environmental situation in the Caspian Sea, from the point of view of fishing, as fluctuation of the sea levels, and. to a much greater degree, results of human activities.

Some work on conservation or creation of favorable conditions for existence ‘ fish and its catching can become a target of investment cooperation of partners. Such work can include:

_ melioration, soils reclamation and so on;

_ construction of protection facilities preventing water pollution by industrial sewerage and oil spills from the areas of the sea shore where oil and gas field are located.

_ constant systematic monitoring in the Caspian Sea basin.
