We’ve never seen the resources of fish in Lake Sevan’s in such a bad state, said Director of the Institute of Hydro-Ecology and Ichthyology at Armenia’s National Academy of Sciences Bardukh Gabrielyan at a press conference today.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“Our endemic types of fish \u2014 Ishkhan [Prince], Koghak, Beghlun \u2014 no longer have commercial value,” he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“There are two reasons for this: the lowering of Lake Sevan’s water level and poaching” said Gabrielyan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He, however, said there’s a way out of the situation.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“The lake is being artificially supplemented with fish, this yields positive results, however, it’s not enough. Complementary projects should be implemented: otherwise, on one hand, they add fish artificially; on the other hand, poaching increases,” he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
