Crimean fleet may fish for Black Sea anchovies near Abkhazia

Russian authorities have permitted the Crimean fleet to fish for Black Sea anchovies, or khamsa, near the Republic of Abkhazia. In particular, Moscow and Sukhumi have agreed that the Crimean fishing fleet may bring in 15% of a total potential catch of khamsa. The agreement will allow the Crimean fishing fleet to participate in the winter season for khamsa near Abkhazia next year.
