A six-month ban on the export of whitefish from the RA territory was established.
 In today's session, the executive approved the draft of the government's decision "On applying a temporary ban on the export of whitefish fry from the territory of the Republic of Armenia" developed by the Ministry of Environment.
 The need to adopt the decision stems from the requirement of food security of the Republic of Armenia, sustainable use of living resources in Lake Sevan and preservation of biodiversity.
 Taking into account the initial and pilot nature of the process of regulation of industrial fishing of whitefish in Lake Sevan, as well as the great negative anthropogenic impact on the lake and the consumer attitude towards bioresources formed in recent decades, the need to prevent possible negative consequences, to organize the preservation and normal reproduction of a wild fish species with high industrial value  based on this legal act, a ban on the export of whitefish from the territory of the Republic of Armenia is established.
