With the onset of cold weather, inhabitants of water bodies gather in deep places to overwinter.

To preserve fish populations in the Republic of Belarus, a ban on catching all fish species in wintering pits comes into effect on October 1.

It will last until April 15, 2027.

The official list of such places in Belarus has been approved by a decree of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food and the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus.
