A decision on the future regulations for omul fishing in Baikal will be made before March. The ban on industrial fishing, imposed due to a significant population decline, has been lifted, and recreational fishing has been permitted since 2023 in certain areas. This is attributed to the recovery of the omul population and the increase in biomass. The omul, a crucial part of the Baikal ecosystem and a valuable commercial fishery, is a species native to the salmon family.
