1-2 kilometers of dead fish washed ashore. Hundreds of thousands of carp species are on the brink of extinction

On November 27, an extraordinary incident occurred in the Aragatsotn region. According to Shamshyan.com, as a result of the draining of the Shenik reservoir located in the administrative area of Mastara village, hundreds of thousands of carp species have found themselves on the brink of extinction.

In a conversation with the source, those gathered near the reservoir stated, “Due to the breaking of the valve, the water completely dried up in a few days. As a result, the carps ended up out of the water. Without exaggeration, 1-2 kilometers of dead fish have washed ashore. If the Ministry of Environment and the Aragatsotn regional administration do not take measures in a short time, we might as well consider both the reservoir and the fish lost.”
