                    SALMON BREADING IN SAKHALIN

    According to scientific data fish farming in Sakhalin makes 30 thousand tons
of fish, mainly chum salmon and pink salmon. 500 million of fry having appeared
from eggs in fish hatcheries located along the coast line come back. In Soviet
times there was only one fish farm in Sakhalin as well as in Kamchatka. And
about forty of them were built by Japanese in Southern Sakhalin. Later they
turned out to be a basic for fish farming in this region. At present the farms are
equipped with the modern equipment: Japanese pisciculturea and the Islandic wa-
ter-supplying. Aquaculturists use the best technologies for artificial fish breeding.
Concerned with fulfillment of fishery plans big bosses in Moscow did not expect
much from those farms but they also could not get rid of them. So they had to
support fish farming.
    People of Sakhalin consider their rivers as their main treasure and take care of
them. With a lot of difficulties they managed to find several individuals of Green
sturgeon in the rivers of Primorye. This rare specious was completely destroyed in
Sakhalin. Those individuals of dying species were brought to Sakhalin and a
breeding stock of this fish was created. When problems with Sakhalin taimen ap-
peared due to poaching, scientists from Sakhalin together with their Japanese col-
leagues started breeding this fish. When situation with cherry salmon, favourite
fish in Sakhalin, turned to worse, cherry salmon fry appeared in fish hatcheries of
Okhotsk.
