Changes in the Rules of recreational fishing in the Astrakhan region have come into force. On May 20, the Ministry of Justice of Russia registered the Order of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation of April 19, 2016 No. 153, which amended paragraph 30.14 of the Rules for Fishing of the Volga-Caspian Fisheries Basin (Order of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation No. 453 of November 18, 2014) (hereinafter referred to as the Rules) . This Order introduced changes, of course, not only in relation to fishing in the Astrakhan region, but in the publication I will focus only on this.

Changes have been made to a number of provisions of the Fishing Rules relating to recreational fishing in this region.

So, in subparagraph 30.14.1, the mention of the possibility of fishing at the “Volga Forbidden Pre-estuary Space” was removed.

According to Article 17 of the Federal Law of December 20, 2004 No. 166-FZ “On Fishing and Conservation of Aquatic Biological Resources” (as amended), “water bodies of fishery significance include water bodies that are used or can be used for the extraction (catch) of aquatic biological resources” (paragraph 3), and “categories of water bodies of fishery importance and features of the extraction (catch) of aquatic biological resources living in them are established federal body executive authority in the field of fisheries” (point 4).

The rules for water bodies of fishery importance in the Astrakhan region, where amateur fishing is prohibited, included:

– Volga forbidden pre-estuarial space;

- spawning grounds (Appendix No. 3 of the Rules);

– wintering pits(Appendix No. 5 of the Rules).

The Volga forbidden pre-estuary space is defined in Appendix No. 2 and in a) subparagraph 21.1.1.1 of the Rules. Relevant maps of the area are available online.

For the attention of readers. The Volga pre-estuary forbidden space is limited by straight lines passing through the following nodal points:

point 1 - the city of Lagan; point 2 - erik Bezymyanka; point 2.1 - tone "Scientific"; point 3 - sinking "10th Ognevka"; point 4 - sinking "8th Ognevka"; point 5 - Dvukhbratinsky Island at the mouth of the Left Zuydevaya channel; point 6 - the western border of the Damchik site of the Astrakhan State Nature Reserve; point 7 - the eastern border of the Damchik site of the Astrakhan State Nature Reserve; point 8 - former Nikitinsky lighthouse; point 9 - the northern tip of Egrashkin Island (fork of the Mitrichiv and Egrashkin channels); point 10 - the source of the Sixth small channel; point 11 - the western border of the Trekhizbinsky section of the Astrakhan State Nature Reserve; point 12 - the eastern border of the Trekhizbinsky section of the Astrakhan State Nature Reserve; point 13 - point southwest of the village of Tishkovo; point 14 – right bank of the Belinsky bank; point 15, northeastern tip of Verkhny Oseredok Island; point 16 - sinking "7th Ognevka" Belinsky Bank; point 17 - the Kirsanovskaya channel; point 18 - Fomin bank; point 19 - the western boundary of the Obzhorovsky section of the Astrakhan State Nature Reserve; point 20 - the eastern border of the Obzhorovsky section of the Astrakhan State Nature Reserve; point 21 - Small island; point 22 - Nameless point; point 23 - the eastern border of the southern part of the Obzhorovsky section of the Astrakhan State Nature Reserve; point 24 - the western boundary of the southern part of the Obzhorovsky section of the Astrakhan State Nature Reserve; point 25 - the end of the Krasinskaya spit; point 26 – Sukhononok Island; point 27 - a point to the south of the island of Maly Zyudostinskiy; point 28 - sinking "10th Ognevka" Belinsky Bank; point 29 - Sea Pier of Upper Oseredok Island; point 30 - Karalatskaya channel; point 31 - Batkachny Island; point 32 - Kulaginsky canal-fish passage; point 33 - Nikitinsky bank; point 34 - the eastern border of the Damchik site of the Astrakhan State Nature Reserve; point 35 - the western border of the Damchik site of the Astrakhan State Nature Reserve; point 36 - a point two kilometers below the "9th Ognevka" pit; point 37 - a point three kilometers west of point 36; point 38 - a point on the island of Tumanka Cross; point 39 - the village of Vyshka; and further to the starting point - the city of Lagan.

The long-awaited changes have also been made to subparagraph 30.14.2 of the Rules. It was indicated here that the prohibited periods (periods) for the extraction (catch) of aquatic biological resources now begin not from April 20, but from May 16 and last until June 20. The rules, which in this part will come into force next year, establish that the spawning ban will be valid from May 16 to June 20.

At this time, it is forbidden to extract (catch) aquatic biological resources everywhere, with the exception of water bodies of fishery significance within the administrative boundaries of settlements, as well as in fishing areas provided for the organization of recreational and sport fishing during this period.

And the last. Nor have the catch rates been introduced into the Rules, which was discussed a lot, linking this with changes or the abolition of the spawning ban. Let me remind you that the terms of the ban, which are in force this year, were introduced with the advent of the new Federal Law of December 20, 2004 No. 166-FZ “On Fishing and the Conservation of Aquatic Biological Resources”. According to him, the reservoirs in the regions were divided into sections, which were leased.

There was a situation when during the spawning ban it was possible to fish only at those bases that had such plots or rented them. But not everyone rented RPU, and therefore, according to the above law, a number of camp sites cannot receive fishermen after the start of the ban, and those who have it can organize such fishing.

At the same time, as reported by regional media and fishermen's forums on the Internet, often such fishing for clients of such bases was without observing any catch standards. You can still find information about this on the Internet, sometimes on the relevant websites of business organizations.

Now the owners fishing bases they are lobbying for the RPU to be left in the draft Federal Law on amateur fishing, which takes a suspiciously long time to be finalized after passing the first reading.

The daily catch rates in the Fishing Rules, adopted after the entry into force of the named Federal Law, were canceled. Our readers probably remember that they were five kilograms per fisherman per day. But many understand that the decrease in fish in the Astrakhan region was not due to amateur fishing.

The fact that the ban begins in 2017 on May 16, when most of the fish have already spawned, with the exception of herring, of course, will not lead to further impoverishment of fish stocks in this region. As before, amateurs from mid-May and in June, in permitted places, will continue to fish predatory fish- zander, pike and perch that spawn earlier than white fish. Then they will start catching catfish and asps. Peaceful fish are caught almost everywhere.
