Not a good salmon season in the Far East and fishery closes in an area of ​​Kamchatka

The salmon season in the Far East has not been good, with only 51% of the record level of 2018 being caught.

A ban on industrial and traditional indigenous peoples' communities fishing in the bay and rivers will be introduced from 00:00 on August 19.
