HAPPY FISHING DAY!

WORLD FISHING DAY – 27 JUNE 2023

Russia is rich in water resources: 3 oceans, 15 seas, countless rivers and lakes. In terms of fish catch, our country is in 4-5 place in the world market.

Mining and fish processing enterprises celebrate their professional holiday on June 27 – World Fisheries Day. The idea to celebrate this date arose in 1984 in Italy at the International Conference on the Development of Fisheries. It is aimed at increasing the prestige of the profession and drawing public attention to the need for careful attitude to aquatic biological resources.

Since ancient times, people have used fish for food.

There were found devices for catching fish, which are more than 30 thousand years old. Primitive people made fishing rods from natural materials: instead of a hook – animal bones or plants with thorns, instead of fishing line – vines or animal tendons. Another tool for fishing – a harpoon or spear – was made of wood, bone, stone.
The image of fish is also found in rock paintings, and in decorative ornaments on dishes, household utensils, and in jewelry items. In ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, India, Persia, fish dishes were presented to the gods of love and fertility.

The Russian Fish Company congratulates all its colleagues and partners working in the industry on their professional holiday – World Fishing Day!!!
