FISHING PROHIBITED ON PAPER ONLY

[01:04 pm] 29 May, 2006

The markets of the Gegharqounik region as well as the community of
village Nor Getashen still continue selling whitefish. Although by the
order of the RA Ministry of Ecology it is prohibited to catch
whitefish in 2006, still fishing does not stop in Sevan.

Mainly small fish is sold in the markets: weighing 50-150 grams and
costing 100 AMD each. In answer to our inquiries the Ecology
administration of the Gegharqounik region said that the national park
`Sevan’ and the RA Ministry of Ecology are responsible for prohibiting
fishing.

So, in contrast to the previous years no control has been exercised in
the lake.
