Experts decided that during the fishing season, red fish in the water area of the Anadyr estuary can be caught only two days a week. It was decided to introduce a large number of passing days to preserve the chum salmon population spawning in this basin.

The Regional Department of Agriculture and Food summed up the results of the northern delivery. In 2023, supplies of food and essential goods increased. In total, 33.3 thousand tons of cargo were delivered to the region. This exceeded the 2022 figures by almost half.

Almost 1.1 thousand tons of salmon have been harvested in the district since the beginning of the fishing season. This indicator is almost twice worse than the most unsuccessful years. The exception was the region of the Khatyrka River and the Meynypilgynskaya lake-river system, Chukotka news agency reports.

Salmon harvesters in the Far East parts of Russia have landed so much fish that they have begun to dump some of their excess catch wherever they can, forcing the region to confront an epidemic of rancid, rotting salmon.
