ArmInfo. Besides banning fishing in Sevan the Armenian Government
should try to restore the lake’s fish resources, President of the
Association of Fish Breeders of Armenia Arkady Gevorgyan said during
a press-conference today when asked to comment on the Armenian Ecology
Minister’s proposal to ban fishing in Sevan for three years.

"The ban can help to restore Sevan’s fish resources but only provided
that it is compulsory for all. In order to restore the fish resources
of Sevan we should also release necessary quantities of young fish
into the lake," Gevorgyan said.

In 2010 Armenia’s Ecology Ministry will allocate 60mln AMD for
restoring the country’s fish resources and 7.5mln AMD for recording
the fish and crayfish resources of Sevan and its basin.
