Project to roll out artificial instream egg incubators wins the Green Prize 2025
The Russian Environmental Operator awarded the winners of the Green Prize 2025. The project recognized as the best in the "Sustainable Practices in the Agricultural Industry" category is "An Integrated Technology with Artificial Nests for Fish Egg Incubation". The devices for the reproduction of young salmonid populations were designed at the Karelian Scientific Center RAS and tested in collaboration with Kola Mining and Metallurgical Company JSC (part of Nornickel). The incubators are being successfully used on rivers in northern Karelia and the Murmansk Region.
