From April 10, seasonal restrictions on fishing will be in effect on Ukrainian reservoirs. In some reservoirs, the ban has already come into force, UNN reports with reference to the Ministry of Economy, Environment and Agriculture of Ukraine.
Details
Restrictions are already in effect on the Dnipro Reservoir, and from April 10, they will begin to apply to the Kyiv, Kaniv, Kremenchuk, Kamianske, Dniester, and Pechenihy Reservoirs. During this period, fishing is allowed, but with significant restrictions: exclusively from the shore and outside spawning grounds.
Anglers can use hook fishing gear - no more than two hooks per person, or a spinning rod with one artificial lure. In addition, during this period, it will be forbidden to move on vehicles and motor vessels outside established shipping lanes - commercial fishing and spearfishing are also prohibited.
The exception applies only to vessels used by fishery protection agencies and other authorized state bodies.
Violation of restrictions during spawning entails responsibility - from administrative fines to criminal liability, as well as mandatory compensation for damages caused to the fishing industry. Inspectors of the State Agency of Ukraine for Melioration, Fisheries and Food Programs will work on reservoirs in an enhanced control mode.
Recall
From April 1, the annual spring-summer spawning ban on fishing came into effect on most fishing reservoirs in Ukraine.
