Rosneft Restores the Population of Volga Sterlet The Russian oil company Rosneft has launched a program aimed at restoring the population of the Volga sterlet, a rare sturgeon species native to the Volga River basin. As part of the ecological initiative, Rosneft has been releasing juvenile sterlets into the Saratov Reservoir in an effort to revive the species, which has faced significant declines due to pollution and habitat destruction. Experts from the Russian Federal Fisheries Agency, in cooperation with Rosneft’s environmental division, oversee the breeding and release efforts. The project also includes continuous monitoring of the stocks to assess survival rates and adaptation. The Volga sterlet plays an important role in the river ecosystem and holds value for both biodiversity and local fisheries. Rosneft emphasized its commitment to sustainable environmental practices and the importance of preserving Russia’s natural heritage for future generations.
