Why Do Fish Die in Mingechevir Reservoir?
Baku / 14.07.18 / Turan: The Ministry of Ecology studies information about the death of fish in the Goran Gulf of the Mingechevir Reservoir. In the statement of the Ministry of Ecology on the results of the inspection of this territory, the death of fish is confirmed.
"During the inspection in the shallow water of the Goran Gulf, a large amount of dead bream was found," the Ministry said.
Samples of water and fish were taken from different parts of the reservoir, and biological, morphological, physiological and histological analyzes were carried out. Infectious diseases and poisoning facts were revealed.
The Ministry notes the revealed increase in the water temperature, as well as the inappropriate physical and chemical situation on the shoals on the day of sampling. It is assumed the fish organisms could not adapt to these changes, which led to their death.
According to the conclusion of the Ministry's specialists, the mass mortality of fish is associated with climatic changes, abrupt anomalous warming, and suboptimal hydrophysical indicators of the fish habitat.
The Mingechevir Reservoir is the largest in the country. It is used for irrigation, providing water to the 172-kilometer Upper Garabagh Canal and the 123-kilometer Upper Shirvan Canal. The reservoir is also used for fish farming. --0--

The closure of Azerbaijan's land borders was discussed during the parliamentary session on November 25. While the government’s decision cites the coronavirus pandemic as the main reason—despite the World Health Organization declaring its end last year—Zahid Oruj, Chair of the Human Rights Committee in the Milli Majlis, pointed to other factors. He stated, "Opening the borders could result in an influx of hundreds of thousands of non-Azerbaijani refugees due to the Russia-Ukraine war. Additionally, in Iran, many are prepared to cross into Azerbaijan to safeguard their lives and assets amid military strikes. Such waves of refugees could lead to humanitarian, social, and cultural clashes that may threaten political stability."
