Restoration and conservation of unique Sakhalin fish - populations of Sakhalin taimen.

Sakhalin taimen - endemic of the Far East, is among the vulnerable species of the Red Book. Considering the low rate of natural reproduction and the importance of preserving populations of Sakhalin taimen, the Sakhalin branch of Glavrybvod Federal State Budgetary Institution, annually since 2012, as part of the production program aimed at maintaining the Sakhalin taimen in the Lake Tunaicha basin, carries out targeted work to restore populations of this species.

The process of artificial reproduction is carried out at the Okhotsk Hatchery where every year specialists carry out the keeping of captured producers, laying eggs for incubation, growing and release of juveniles.

In May of this year, it was possible to lay down for incubation according to preliminary estimates - 16.0 thousand  live eggs, the number of which will be specified after the inventory of eggs.

Eggs was obtained from 16 producers caught in accordance with a permit for the extraction of objects of flora and fauna belonging to the species listed in the Red Book of Russian Federation, issued by the Department of Rosprirodnadzor.

All the producers of Sakhalin taimen caught this year, after receiving the reproductive products, were successfully returned back to their natural habitat. Specialists in the field of veterinary medicine and the Far Eastern Interregional Administration of Rosprirodnadzor observed the progress of the release of taimen producers.
