Sprats - a delicacy that has long been appreciated at its true worth in the Russian consumer market, after the ban on its import from the Baltic States in early June 2015, is a "dead weight" for most Latvian producers.
Arnold Babris, chairman of the board of the processing plant, admits in an interview to the NTV channel for each can of products, either in jest or with the usual prudence of the master, fish producers are fighting aggressively and almost literally strangled each other. According to him, over the past few years, production in the republic has decreased by three times.
“So far, we have not been able to find new potential lovers of these fish delicacies,” said Janis Savichs, head of export development at the plant, in a conversation with Baltnews. "After the loss of the Russian market, which has become inaccessible to the entire fishing industry as a result of counter-sanctions, the industry is feeling particularly flawed. Many firms have finally lost their commercial interest in the Baltic coast," he admits wistfully.
As you know, the Rosselkhoznadzor banned the import of fish products from Latvia and Estonia in early June 2015. And the policy of substituting imported products managed to manifest itself in the Kaliningrad region, where the catch of commercial fish increased significantly - by 300 thousand tons. In the Atlantic Ocean alone, Russian fishermen caught 210 thousand tons of fish, which is twenty percent higher than the previous figures.
Moreover, the Baltic region is also the leader in the production of sprat. In 2017, the region supplied 48 million cans to the domestic market, increasing production almost threefold. And in the future, it is planned to increase the production of sprat products to 70 million cans per year.

How long did it take to build a castle in the Middle Ages?
When you look at the huge stone castles, you often wonder what kind of fellow ancestors were, since they were able to build such a thing! Today people are building no less magnificent buildings. And in the presence of modern technologies, the construction of many buildings naturally takes years. How long, then, did it take to build medieval castles in an era without cars and cranes?
Where did the largest river fish - Beluga, 4 meters long, go?
Some 100 years ago, fabulous fish by modern standards were caught in the Volga: weighing up to 1.2-1.5 tons and more than 4 meters long. And these are not at all tales of fishermen, but confirmed scientific facts. These were huge belugas, which have not been seen in the Volga for a long time, and the few representatives of this species that have remained in our days bear little resemblance to their great ancestors
Mysterious object at the bottom of the Baltic Sea
Have you ever thought about the fact that the depths of our seas and oceans are much less explored than space? This is actually the case. We know a lot about planets and satellites, about meteorites and distant galaxies, but we are practically unaware of what rests in the depths of the sea on our Earth
