Abstract:
In order to achieve sustainable fisheries in the Amur, public monitoring of the filling of chum salmon spawning grounds on model rivers has been carried out on the Amur River since 2018 in support of official fisheries science, which uses data on past catches to determine the volume of permitted catches, which leads to overfishing and empty spawning grounds.
In 2018-2019, with the support of WWF Russia, teams of volunteers of the Association of Indigenous Peoples of the North of the Khabarovsk province collected data on the filling of spawning grounds of autumn chum salmon. The average filling of the spawning grounds of the Amgun produced in 2018 was 0.12 specimens. per 100 m2 of the length of the river, per Anyui - 0.076 copies. per 100 m2, on Tunguska - 0.025 copies. per 100 m2 (the norm is 50 copies. per 100 m2). In 2019, several more fish were found: on Amguni - 0.24, on Anyui - 2.5, on Tunguska – 0.06 individuals per 100 m2. The spawning grounds are still empty.
The obtained data monitoring and control are presented annually to the Commission on the regulation of production of anadromous fish in Khabarovsk province, the Fisheries Institute (Moscow, Khabarovsk), the Department of fisheries and aquaculture of the Ministry of agriculture of the Khabarovsk province, the Federal Agency for fishery of the Amur basin nature protection Prosecutor's office and other stakeholders. Many of the recommendations proposed by WWF based on the results of public monitoring and control were taken into account in the formation of the Pacific salmon fishing strategy in 2019.
