More than a thousand tons of fish were mined in the Vologda region this year

Vologda region joined the all-Russian project “Russian fish”, which will introduce residents to the fish diversity of the regions. It is designed to support interest in the products of domestic producers. Vologda residents will be able to find out what fish is found directly in the Vologda region.

Both industrial fishing and fish farming are developed in the region. In just eight months of this year, enterprises produced 1,029 tons of fish – 83 tons more than the same period last year. About 197 tons account for the Rybinsk reservoir, the rest – for the White, Onega, Kubenskoe lakes, Lake Vozha, Sheksninskoe and Kovzhsky reservoirs, as well as small lakes and rivers of the region.

Commercial fish production is developing. Last year, 1.3 thousand tons of aquaculture products were received, which is 20% more than in the previous season. Over a thousand tons of trout, 231 tons of Atlantic salmon and 47 tons of sturgeon were grown.

In addition, in 2025, 19.29 tons of black caviar were received, another 54 tons of fish planting material for further cultivation.

To promote the products, the regional Ministry of Natural Resources received the right to use the sign “Russian fish” and information materials of the project.
