Is it possible to reopening sturgeon fishing in the Sea of Azov?

Abstract
The ideas of managed sturgeon farming in the Azov and Caspian Seas, formulated and implemented in the USSR in the second half of the twentieth century, have not passed the test of time. Currently, sturgeon fishing is not conducted in these reservoirs, their stocks are significantly undermined by poaching, natural spawning is minimized, and their reproduction is carried out primarily at sturgeon hatcheries, which were preserved thanks to the formation of domesticated brood stock and the transition to lifetime production of eggs. A new scheme of managed sturgeon farming is proposed, which provides for the resumption of currently prohibited fishing and the use of caught fish only to obtain mature sexual products, after which they should be released. It is proposed to test the new scheme in the Azov basin.
