Gazprom Nedra Company held another release of chum salmon fry in Sakhalin
On June 5, about 3 million chum salmon fry were released into the Krasnoyarka River in Sakhalin Oblast. The juvenile fish produced at the Krasnoyarka salmon hatchery and paid for by Gazprom Nedra were released as part of the company’s compensation measures for aquatic biological resources reproduction.
The juvenile fish will get stronger in the Krasnoyarka River and go to the Sea of Okhotsk
The salmon hatchery specialists began the process of artificial reproduction of chum salmon back in the fall, in October 2021, laying chum salmon eggs for incubation. The process of rearing the juvenile fish lasted this entire time. When the fry reached the required weight (over 1 gram each), they were released into their natural habitat. The release was carried out with the participation of supervisory authorities and Gazprom Nedra LLC specialists. From the Krasnoyarka River, the juvenile fish will go to the Sea of Okhotsk, where they will get stronger and return to spawn in 2‒4 years.
