Mass inspections of the entire fish farming chain in the country started this week due to the approach of St. Nicholas Day, when fish is traditionally prepared.

The Executive Agency for Fisheries and Aquaculture (NAFA) has launched inspections of reservoirs, fish farms, markets and shops selling fish and fish products.

Experts will require permits to catch fish, the origin of the fish and declarations for the first sale.

The action will last until December 6 inclusive, after which the reservoirs and sites will be inspected on the principle of official control, which is regularly performed by NAFA.

Inspectors from the fisheries and control department of the agency in Varna and Burgas did not hide that in the last days of November they found poaching raids and illegal transportation of fish during inspections.

During one of their inspections, the specialists shared that a person carrying out illegal transportation of fish by car was caught at the market in the town of Dalgopol near Varna.

An act was drawn up against the violator and a total of 28,900 kilograms of white fish, variegated silver carp, bleak and silver caracuda were confiscated. The unregulated fish was donated to the social kitchen of the Varna and Veliko Preslav dioceses.

NAFA Burgas inspectors together with the Association of Environmentalists in Burgas recently conducted another inspection of the Mandra Dam.

Experts reveal that 30 kilograms of fish caught illegally in 1,400 meters of poaching nets were taken from the reservoir. The fish found was a silver caracuda and was returned to the water.

According to the director of NAFA-Burgas Vladimir Kamenov, a large part of the Roma from the Burgas neighborhoods make a living from illegal catching there, and sometimes the inspectors even have to use police guards because of the aggression of the poachers.

Since the beginning of November, 12 acts of illegal fishing have been drawn up only around the Mandra dam.
