Spring fishing ban 2019 - deadlines, restrictions on fishing gear, fines and other useful information. This type of ban is associated with spawning - it was introduced quite rightly, since this helps to somehow preserve the inhabitants of rivers and lakes in Russia, especially valuable breeds. Probably, every fisherman from year to year is convinced that the fish are biting worse and becoming smaller - and this is not only due to environmental degradation, but also to poaching. By catching fish with caviar with nets, with each individual, you reduce the livestock by hundreds, or even thousands of fry. So it is good form not only to refrain from fishing during this period, but also to suppress any attempts at poaching in your reservoir.

The timing of the spring fishing ban 2019 is different everywhere, they are negotiated by a separate order for the district. For example, in the Moscow region, the 2019 fishing ban was set from April 10 to June 10, and in cooling ponds - in more early dates. In the Tyumen region - from ice melting on May 20 on rivers and from May 15 to June 20 on reservoirs and lakes. Where to find information? In the order on the website of the administration, or by calling the society of hunters and fishermen in your city. In addition, there will also be indicated places where fishing is not allowed, for example, a list of wintering pits, individual sections. There may be a ban on certain fishing gear and certain species of fish.

In general, in Russia, from April 20 to June 20, there is a spring ban on fishing in 2019, if you start from these dates, you will not be mistaken. At the same time, it is not at all necessary to deprive yourself of fishing. The ban does not include fishing with a bait - with one hook, in the daytime, from the shore. That is, it is still possible to relax and catch fish with caviar, although, of course, it is better to refrain from this as well. There is also a ban on catching fish of certain sizes - there is a list in each order, but in general, the length should be more than 20 cm. For pikes - from 32 cm, for catfish - from 90 cm. So, of course, they can find fault with you. But usually fish inspectors have no questions about one fishing rod.

Now, about fines - how much does it threaten for illegal fishing in the spring? In fact, the upper bar is solid, if you are caught with a net during the spawning period, you will have to pay up to 300 thousand rubles. For a small pike with caviar, they will rip off from 500 rubles per individual. Usually, fishermen with several fishing rods hit big at once, that is, they are charged a fine of about 2,000 rubles, then another for an individual, for parking a car by the river (few people observe 200 meters), so half the salary flew away. And the malicious ones can end up in jail for six months.

Therefore, the spring ban on fishing in 2019 is a very serious matter, it is better to go with one fishing rod and only to very distant water bodies. And anyway, is it worth it? Wait two months, during this time you can buy equipment, fishing rods, a boat, and then fish for your own pleasure.

Prohibitions and restrictions for fishermen in the Moscow Region are established by legislative documents at the federal level. Fishing rules for the Volga-Caspian fishery basin were approved by order of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation No. 453 dated 11/18/2014. (hereinafter - Fishing Rules). In 2018, FZ-475, a separate law “On recreational fishing…”, was adopted, which establishes restrictions on the extraction of water resources for ordinary fishermen. It comes into force in 2020 and confirms the legitimacy of the Fishing Rules.

This regulatory document not only introduces a ban on fishing in 2019 in the Moscow region, but also establishes other rules for the extraction of aquatic biological resources. From what date the ban is valid, when it ends, what types of fish are prohibited for fishing, what other restrictions apply regarding fishing methods and types of gear, more on this later in the article.

When is fishing prohibited in the Moscow region?

The spring spawning ban on fishing in 2019 in the Moscow region is part of public policy on the conservation of water resources. The term of spring restrictions depends on climatic features and the spawning period of fish species living in the reservoirs of the region. If spawning takes place in another season, such as for burbot, this feature is reflected in the legislative norms. This is a common practice, such bans are introduced for the entire period of the Fishing Rules.

However, legislative acts may be amended, therefore, in order to find out when the fishing ban in the Moscow Region begins in 2018, you should refer to the current, current version of the Fishing Rules. This document was last modified on November 6, 2018.

In accordance with the Fishing Rules, in some regions the prohibition period is introduced for specific fish species. In the Moscow region, such norms are established only for the extraction of burbot due to the period of its spawning, in other cases, the period of restrictions here depends on the location of the reservoir. Thus, the ban on pike fishing in the Moscow region, for example, does not apply, as in some other regions.

Be careful! Fishing during spawning is strictly prohibited!

☸️ Changes in the legal framework of the fishing industry of the Russian Federation in 2019

In 2019, the fishing industry of the Russian Federation is waiting for serious changes. Changes to the federal fisheries law appeared back in 2016, but they will only come into effect this year. What do traders need to prepare for?

☸️ Massive changes

The amendments previously made to the law on fisheries are beginning to take effect. First of all, the revised quota system will be changed. There will be fishing quotas for investment purposes, with the help of which the authorities want to stimulate the creation of new enterprises for the processing of harvested aquatic biological resources and the production of fish products. In addition, they should "push" the fishing fleet of the Russian Federation to build new modern vessels at their shipyards. The function of distributing quotas for investments will be entrusted to the federal executive body exercising control in the field of fisheries and the preservation of aquatic biological resources. The provision of quotas for investment purposes will be regulated by agreements concluded for a 15-year term with owners or tenants of investment objects. In total, it is planned to conclude about 7 thousand contracts. In the near future the Government Russian Federation draw up and approve a list of water resources for all regions of commercial catch, requirements for investment objects, as well as the procedure for calculating and distributing the investment quota. It is already known that projects will be selected based on applications. If the requested limits exceed 100% of the share of the investment quota, then it is planned to conduct a selection based on fair competition. According to the assurances of the current head of the department, I. Shestakov, this procedure will be carried out as transparently as possible, under the supervision of representatives of the Federal Agency for Fisheries.

☸️ Updated coastal fishing rules

Dramatic changes are expected in the field of coastal fisheries. Even during the discussion of the future law, "coastal" became perhaps the most acute topic. Numerous questions were raised, from limiting the size of boats to locking certain types processing of extracted resources directly on ships. For example, freezing of caught fish and reloading of catches will be banned. The authorities of one or another coastal region of the Federation will determine the place of unloading. In addition, in the coastal zone it was previously possible to extract not only aquatic biological resources that fall under the TAC (total allowable catch), but also those whose production is not subject to quotas at all. However, the new law leaves the "coastal" only the ODU species of fish. The federal security body of the Russian Federation will control the transportation and shipment of the caught biological resources, as well as the products produced on ships. The law provides for the deprivation of the right to catch for all violators, followed by the forced termination of their activities.

☸️ Distribution of investment quotas

Investment quotas are included in the Regulations on the distribution of TACs. This document regulates the procedure for the distribution of extracted resources in relation to the types of quotas. The list of limits includes quotas for investment purposes provided for industrial and coastal fisheries. Investment quotas will be distributed among those participants who already operate investment objects. According to the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 1154, this function is assigned to the Federal Agency for Fisheries. The principle remains the same: the share of the enterprise is multiplied by the TAC determined in relation to the investment quota. The deadline for approving such an allocation for a specific fishing period is 30 December of the previous year. After that, within 5 days, the department is obliged to post the results of the distribution on its own website. The resolution should come into force on April 1 this year.

☸️ Internal ODE

From January 1, the Rules for the distribution of quotas for inland water bodies began to operate. They do not apply to sea ​​waters and those objects for which the TAC is defined within the region. The Federal Agency for Fisheries will distribute quotas on the basis of proposals prepared by fishery research organizations and reviewed by experts from basin research and trade councils. When preparing recommendations, regional features of the water body, quotas for the previous period and the latest changes made by scientific organizations will be taken into account.

☸️ Types of bioresources subject to quotas in certain regions

Since the beginning of the year, Decree No. 764 of the Government of the Russian Federation came into force. The document approves a list of certain types of water resources produced in different regions of the country, in respect of which investment quotas are allocated. The list is made up of the most attractive commercial objects for investors. For example, the Commander squid in the North Kuril zone and the Petropavlovsk-Komandor subzone or the birdie snow crab in the Kamchatka-Kuril subzone.

☸️ No checkpoints

Vessels operating in the northwestern part of the Pacific Ocean, according to changes in Decree No. 486, are required to deliver to the customs territory of the Russian Federation all caught water resources and products made from them. This innovation entailed the need to resolve the issue regarding the control points (points) that such ships passed without fail. This requirement has long been outdated, which has been repeatedly noted by the fishermen themselves. Thanks to the cancellation of the passage of checkpoints, they will be able to significantly reduce temporary losses.

☸️ New TSCs

In 2016, the Ministry of Agriculture issued Order No. 294, which regulates the procedure for equipping fishing vessels with technical controls. According to this document, only devices of the INMARSAT satellite communications company (14 pieces) and the only domestic model of the Gonets system equipped with AIS (automatic identification system) are allowed for use on ships. They should replace all the others. technical means previously used. On ships with a displacement of up to 300 tons, not crossing the 75th degree of southern and northern latitudes, the installation of the AIS was supposed to be completed before January 1, 2018, but this period was extended for another six months.
