Sterlet, a breed of sturgeon, swim in a tank at the Beloyarsky state fish hatchery in the village of Izykhskiye Kopi in Khakassia region, August 18, 2014. The hatchery was built to replace fish stocks in the Yenisei River depleted after construction of a hydro-electric dam, which blocked their migration route. The hatchlings are loaded into container trucks, and then released back into the Yenisei river about 800 km downstream from the hatchery. The hatchery will this year release 800, 000 sturgeon fry back into the river, employees said. Picture taken August 18, 2014.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a group of Sterlet, a breed of sturgeon, gracefully swimming in a tank at the Beloyarsky state fish hatchery. Located in the village of Izykhskiye Kopi in Russia's Khakassia region, this hatchery serves as a crucial lifeline for replenishing fish stocks in the Yenisei River. The construction of a hydro-electric dam had disrupted their migration route, depleting their numbers. In an effort to restore balance to the river ecosystem, employees at the hatchery load these precious hatchlings into container trucks and release them back into the Yenisei river approximately 800 km downstream. This year alone, an impressive 800,000 sturgeon fry will be returned to their natural habitat. The photograph beautifully captures the essence of these magnificent creatures. With intricate details visible even from an elevated view, it highlights their stunning brown coloration and reflective scales. The play of light and shadow creates an atmospheric ambiance that further enhances its appeal. Beyond its aesthetic value lies a deeper message about environmental protection and conservation efforts. As global warming continues to pose threats to our planet's delicate ecosystems, initiatives like this become increasingly vital for preserving biodiversity. Ilya Naymushin skillfully captured this picturesque moment on August 18th, 2014 – showcasing not only nature's beauty but also humanity's commitment towards safeguarding our wildlife heritage.
