Underwater hunting on the Meshrich River ended with a fine and confiscation of weapons We continue to renew our makeshift collection of bags dedicated to hunting in various shapes and types. The new addition is from the Murmansk region. According to the North Sea Territorial Administration of Rosarybolovstovo, in August 2026, during a regular attack on the river Bolshaya Zapadnaya Lytsa (Murmansk region), state inspectors arrested a civilian. He spearfished the salmon spawning river with a speargun in an area not designated for recreational fishing. The offender's actions were authorized under Part 2 of Art. 8.37 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation (Articles 63, 63.2, 77, 77.3 of the Fishing Rules for the Northern Fishing Basin). Since the extraction of aquatic biological resources in spawning rivers using an underwater gun is a prohibited method of fishing, the case materials were sent to the judge of the Zaozersk judicial district because of this. It seems that they were caught red-handed, but the court found the citizen guilty and sentenced him to a fine of 4,000 rubles with the confiscation of the fishing equipment and then someone else is surprised by the rampant hunting in the Murmansk region. Really, why?
