The State Environmental Inspection has started dealing with the illegal sale of the whitefish in Yerevan. According to the statement disseminated by the Information and Public Relations Department of Nature Protection Ministry of Armenia on 3 December, Yerevan Territorial Division employees have confiscated 56 items of the whitefish during their inspections, which has been passed to the educational complex designed for children with hearing problems.
The Inspections started investigations in this regard, when the press started publishing about the sale of the whitefish. EcoLur has received an alarm signal that the whitefish was being sold near the Covered Market. It should be mentioned that before these publications the detections of the environmental inspection didn’t relate to the sale of the whitefish, which has openly been carried out in Yerevan for several months already. Reminder: because of overhunting the industrial reserves of the whitefish in lake Sevan have almost disappeared. Currently the industrial reserves of the whitefish make up only 7-8 tons.
