In 2024, inspectors of the North Caucasian department of Rosrybolovstvo (the Federal Agency for Fishery) discovered 21 offences with criminal signs related to the use of prohibited fishing gear. According to the department's press service, the highest number of offences was recorded in Dagestan, which is due to the vast area of the republic and the large number of water bodies.

The most common violations involve the use of electric fishing rods - one of the most dangerous tools used by the poachers. Since the beginning of 2024, about 4,000 violations have been recorded, resulting in fines worth RUB 9 million. 280 pieces of fishing equipment, including boats, cars and batteries have been confiscated from offenders.
