Scientists intend to grow eggs from the local whitefish population in special incubators. The results of the experiments will become known in June after the launch of eggs in Lake Imandra.
Denis Efremov, a researcher at the Karelian Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, candidate of biological sciences, ichthyologist, spoke about a new patented method of breeding fish.
“A fish is caught, or eggs are taken from the broodstock and placed directly into the river. Here natural incubation takes place, the fry hatch, and in the future “homing” is instilled in him - a natural reaction, a return to the point where he was born. And a herd is being formed in the river in which the population had previously been lost, - the agency quoted Denis Efremov as saying.
