    SEVAN FISH SPAWNING - FISHING BANNED

    YEREVAN, JUNE 30. ARMINFO. Armenia's Ecology Ministry has decreed to
    ban commercial fishing in Lake Sevan July 1-Aug 31 2005.

    For the first time ever the ban will last for 6 months - for there
    is almost no fish of reproductive age left in the lake.

    In Sept the fishing will be allowed in small quantities only while
    in Oct-Dec the fishing will be banned again.

    This year the government has almost halved the fishing quota - 300
    tons against 500 tons last year.

    Trade and industrial enterprises reports that fish worth 335.5 mln
    AMD was caught in Jan-May 2005 with the sales totalling 506.1 mln AMD.
