In recent decades, fish stocks of industrial and economic significance in Armenian freshwater have drastically declined as a result of a number of anthropogenic factors, such as unsustainable use of water resources, exploitation of hydraulic ( ... )
ties, and particularly unregulated fishing and poaching. As a result, only 10 out of the 22 native fish species of Armenian freshwater are found in the national Red Book, and many of the economically valuable species have been exterminated, and they are currently under extinction. The situation is partly conditioned by weak legal framework, that does not clearly regulate the permissions,
