We have previously written many times about the “steep decline” of the Black Sea and Azov fisheries, controlled by the aggressor, as well as about the “special successes” of the current “resorts of the Azov region”, the very mention of which, in relation to the frontline zone, can hardly be called anything other than paranoid.
However, now the “managerial genius” of the invaders has apparently decided to outdo itself, since, through the mouth of the deputy head of the Russia’s Federal Agency for Fisheries (Rosrybolovstvo) Vasily Sokolov, the occupiers have announced nothing more and nothing less than the beginning of “cleaning the Azov Sea of jellyfish”.
As Sokolov stated, it was the jellyfish, and not the extreme conditions of wartime, that led to both the drop in the catch of Azov fish and the empty health resorts, both Crimean and mainland ones.
However, the most tragicomic thing here is not the traditional “who is to blame” for the Kremlin’s servants, but the classic “what to do”. Sokolov stated that “Rosrybolovstvo has given a separate order to develop measures to cleanse the Azov Sea of jellyfish and comb jellies”.
How it is possible in principle to “cleanse the sea” from both thousands of tons of mature “pests” and from their practically elusive eggs and larvae, and where the occupiers will then put this biologically active catch, Sokolov, naturally, did not specify.
But there is no doubt that under the sauce of “fighting extremist jellyfish” Rosrybolovstvo plans to “cleanse” the allocated budgets quite well.
