More than 7 thousand sterlet fry were released into the Nizhnekamsk reservoir by schoolchildren of the Menzelinsky district
Students of school No. 2 and the Podgornobaylar school of the Menzelinsky district visited a fish farm in the village of Gulyukovo. The children were shown what types of fish are grown here and told about the peculiarities of their breeding. Carp and its closest "relative", the white amur, are grown here.
After the excursion, schoolchildren together with Tatneft employees released more than 7 thousand sterlet fry into the Nizhnekamsk reservoir. The stocking took place at the village of Deukovo.
"I am so interested in learning about the world of underwater inhabitants, I like to protect nature, see the results after clean-up days, I want to make the world cleaner," Yulia Rakhmatullina, a member of the ECO Time squad, a student of Menzelinsky school No. 2, shares her impressions.
It is worth noting that the sterlet is a predatory fish of the sturgeon family. It is listed in the Red Book and its fishing is prohibited.
The stocking took place within the framework of the Olympiad of young ecologists "Clean Heritage".
Let us recall that on September 2, the Olympiad of young ecologists "Clean Heritage" started in Almetyevsk. The Olympiad is being held for the first time this year.
