Illegal Salmon Fishing in Khabarovsk Damages River Resources
In a recent crackdown, law enforcement in the Khabarovsk region apprehended three fishermen for illegally catching salmon in the Amur River. The incident, occurring during 'Putin-2025', resulted in significant damage to local water resources, amounting to 936,000 rubles.
Authorities discovered over 40 salmon carcasses in the suspects' boat, all caught using an unlicensed net. The fishermen were arrested on the riverbanks near the village of Mago. Meanwhile, in an unrelated case, a former FBI agent named Donald Tywik faces trial on November 18, 2025, for illegal possession of sturgeon.
The illegal fishing incident in the Khabarovsk region highlights the need for stricter enforcement and better education on sustainable fishing practices. The upcoming trial of Donald Tywik serves as a reminder of the international scope of such offenses.
