Fish resources of small lakes of the national park «Narochansky» and their use for paid recreational fishing
Abstract
The current state of fish resources of a number of small lakes of the Narochansky National Park is considered when organizing paid amateur fishing on them. According to the fishery classification, the analyzed lakes are assigned to three groups (categories): bream-pike-roach (2), perch-roach (8) and crucian carp-tench (2). It is shown that the composition of the ichthyofauna of small lakes is somewhat narrower than in the park as a whole and is represented by 18 species of fish, of which 15 are native ichthyofauna, 3 are commercial invaders. The latter are either used for the purpose of stocking individual reservoirs with fish, or penetrate through water connections from larger stocked lakes. The values of commercial stocks may fluctuate depending on the intensity of fishing and the volumes of stocking, but generally remain within the potential values determined for the corresponding groups of water bodies in the region. The fishing load for each lake, the composition and dynamics of amateur catch at the current stage of operation were studied, the degree of use of fish resources in the conditions of the functioning of the national park was determined, and the growth of the value of amateur catch was shown.
