YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 5, ARMENPRESS: The amount of the Sevan Lake
whitefish is gradually decreasing. This was stated by the Director
of the Hydro-ecology and Zoology Scientific Center of the National
Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Armenia Bardugh Gabrielyan
at the press conference held on September 5. "For already five years
we have been suggesting the Ministry of Nature Protection of Armenia
to prohibit the fishing of the whitefish in Sevan, as the resources
of that sort of fish are endangered", - said Bardugh Gabrielyan,
as reported by Armenpress.
According to the Director of the Hydro-ecology and Zoology Scientific
Center of the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Armenia,
this year has been a prolific period for the whitefish and if
necessary works had been done, the amount of the fish would be able
to be increased. "Though no control is being carried out and even in
the prolific periods the whitefish is not let to be reproduced", -
emphasized Bardugh Gabrielyan.
In 1980 the resources of the whitefish in the Sevan Lake made
10-12,000 tons. In 1990 they made 28-30,000 tons and currently it is
only 6-8 tons.
