Soldiers in Razna Lake

Within the framework of the National Fish Fund Project No. 20-00-S0ZF02-000006, the municipality of Rēzekne, on 15 October of that year, carried out the introduction of zandars juveniles into the Razna Lake in Chornajas parish Tilies. The project funding for the fish resources of the Lake Razna Lake is EUR 34 969.00, including the financing of the National Fish Fund of 10 000 EURO, the financing of the municipal environmental protection fund of Rezekne, EUR 24 769.00 and the funding of the Razna National Park Society in the amount of 200,00 EUROS.

The supply and release of zandars juveniles was provided by SIA “Rezekne Builder” as an authorised representative of the Estonian fish farm “Kalatalu Härjanurmes” in Latvia. 87 933 zandars were placed in the lake with an average weight of 2.5 grams and an average of 5-7 cm.

Zandarta mazuļu ielaišanas procesā bez zivju piegādātājiem piedalījās arī pārstāvji no Valsts vides dienesta, Pārtikas un veterinārā dienesta, Dabas aizsardzības pārvaldes, Rāznas nacionālā parka biedrības, biedrības “Rāznas ezers - cilvēkam un dabai” un pašvaldības.

Lake Razna is a public lake with high catch intensity, so the municipality is concerned with the restoration of fish resources in the lake through the implementation of the National Fish Fund project. This year, with financial support from the National Fish Fund, fish resources were also added to Luban Lake at the beginning of October.

The implementation of the project contributes to the long-term exploitation of Razna Lake fish, which is particularly important for the local population of the lake, where fishing is a significant source of livelihoods. Razna Lake as “Latgale Sea” is also the largest tourism natural resource of Rezekne, whose conservation of fish resources is an important precondition for tourism development in the area of Razna Lake.
