Ilya Shestakov, Russian deputy minister for agriculture, the head of Rosrybolovstvo, said that the Federal Fishing Agency was working on a program to develop aquafarming in Dagestan to compensate for fish imports from the West banned in early August with fish from the Caspian Sea.
The deputy minister reminded that an agreement on preservation of aqua biological resources of the Caspian Sea regulating sturgeon fishing was initialed in August. The ban on fishing sturgeon should increase their population and the potential of the Caspian Sea. Shestakov noted that fishing volumes in the sea were not dropping every year.

Fishing boats in the Caspian Sea need modernizing. The deputy minister added that medium-sized and small business should be encouraged to develop fishing in the Caspian Sea.
Fishing trout could replace fish imports from the EU, the U.S., Norway and Canada. Magomedsultan Aliyev, the acting head of the West Caspian Territorial Directorate of Rosrybolovstvo, told RIA Dagestan that the ban on fish imports will boost the Sto Prudov Dagestana project and volumes of fishing.
