Only a small number of young fish of this species remain in the sea, which over time could form an exploitable stock, - Barabanov believes. According to scientists' calculations, in the last 20 years alone, roach stocks have decreased more than twice, the catch has decreased sixfold, and over the entire observation period - more than a hundred times. If in 1930, industrial fishermen caught more than 240 thousand tons during the fishing season, in 1990 - almost 18 thousand tons, then the 10-day catch window gave fishermen an "anti-record" 300 tons of fish of this now rare species. The bulk of the catch in recent years has been made ...
