    We've never seen the resources of fish in Lake Sevan's in such a bad
    state, said Director of the Institute of Hydro-Ecology and Ichthyology
    at Armenia's National Academy of Sciences Bardukh Gabrielyan at a
    press conference today.

    "Our endemic types of fish - Ishkhan [Prince], Koghak, Beghlun =80' no
    longer have commercial value," he said.
    "There are two reasons for this: the lowering of Lake Sevan's water
    level and poaching" said Gabrielyan.
    He, however, said there's a way out of the situation.
    "The lake is being artificially supplemented with fish, this yields
    positive results, however, it's not enough. Complementary projects
    should be implemented: otherwise, on one hand, they add fish
    artificially; on the other hand, poaching increases," he said.
