On May 3, 2023, the release of juvenile chum salmon, grown by order of the Eastern Department of the FSUE “Rosmorport” Far Eastern Basin Branch at a specialized fish-rearing station, took place in the presence of representatives of state control and supervisory authorities.

This release was carried out as part of compensatory measures for damage to aquatic biological resources in their habitat and for aquatic objects of fishery importance during repair dredging in 2021 in the waters of the seaport of Nakhodka.

More than 119 thousand pieces of juvenile chum salmon with an average weight of up to 1 g were released into the Bezymyannyj сreek.

The department plans to carry out the second release of juvenile chum salmon in May this year, in the amount of almost 157.9 thousand, weighing at least 0.6 g, into the Brusya river basin as part of compensatory measures during dredging in the water area of the seaport of Vostochny.

The expenses of the Eastern Management of the Far Eastern Basin Branch for the cultivation and release of juvenile chum salmon amounted to almost 2.5 million rubles.
