The Ministry of Agriculture of Russia is proposing to exclude European smelt from the list of fish species in the Western Basin subject to catch restrictions. The proposal aims to limit the catch of smelt in the Far Eastern basin, following existing restrictions in the Western Basin that do not apply to small smelt found in Lake Ladoga and the Leningrad and Kaliningrad regions. This proposal comes after a significant price hike for smelt in St. Petersburg and disruptions to the fishing season due to regulations on fishing gear installation. The ministry's draft order is now open for public comment.
