There have been changes regarding fishing permit periods.

Director of Biological Resources Research Center of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources, Doctor of Biological Sciences, Professor Mehman Akhundov reported to APA that the Cabinet of Ministers made changes to the "Rules for hunting fish and other aquatic bioresources".

The list of documents required for quota fishing is adapted to the "Law of the Republic of Azerbaijan on Licenses and Permits".

He noted that, unlike the previous rules, the deadline for receiving applications for quota for fishing under the new rules has been extended until April 1.

This will lead to an increase in the number of applicants and a more efficient use of the quota by subjects.

"Other changes are related to fishing periods. In the previous regulations, fishing in all reclamation reservoirs was permitted throughout the year, but in the new regulations, a ban on fishing in those reservoirs was introduced from May 1 to September 1. will serve for the spawning of young and, as a result, the increase of fish stocks".

According to M.Akhundov, according to the new rules, the use of pelagic nets of different depths for eel fishing, as well as the removal of the eel's name from the "Red Book" for its industrial fishing in the Kura River and reclamation reservoirs, have been allowed.
