Fishing in Astrakhan
Its role in the life of Astrakhan, moreover, the role of the great Russian river Volga is also very important - $ .For many decades, Astrakhan was one of the most important fishing industry centers in Russia..It was from here that black caviar sturgeon and sturgeon were delivered to the best restaurants in the world..But unregulated fisheries have dealt a devastating blow to the fish riches of the river, and since 2000 the industrial catch of sturgeon has been severely limited, as has the trade in caviar of sturgeon fish .Perhaps, after decades, the balance will be restored, for this purpose the state strictly controls the current situation .
Since 2012, the export of black caviar to Europe is again allowed, but we are talking only about "farmer" fish and caviar, and not about "wild" fish. During this time the brand "Iranian caviar" managed to form on the world market, it will be difficult to win, but it was more important to preserve the biological species for offspring.
