YEREVAN. – Despite all the fishing industry risks in Lake Sevan, it will at least save from the illegal fishing of trout.
National Academy of Sciences of Armenia Biology and Water Preservation Research Center Director Bardukh Gabrielyan stated the aforementioned at a press conference on Friday, commenting on the project of industrial breeding of fish in the lake.
As per Gabrielyan, the reason for the above-said is purely economic; the more fish there are in the lake, it will be that much cheaper. Consequently, illegal fishing will not be profitable, and this is a more effective mechanism than any prohibition.
