In Kyiv, control over the sale of fish caught in local water bodies in markets and fairs is being strengthened. This was reported by the State Consumer Protection Service.

Enhanced control is being introduced due to the spawning ban on fishing, which is effective from April 1. During the spawning period, fishing and underwater hunting are prohibited.

Traditionally, the ban is in place until June 30, however, the duration of this period may vary depending on the region.
