Expeditions to waterbodies used for fisheries took place in the project reporting year 2014. More accurate and updated information about fish stocks in the pilot areas was obtained. Data on the biology of pike, perch, whitefish and grayling were gathered from Lake Kamennoye and the Kamenka River in the Kostomuksha Municipality. For Lake Gimolskoye in the Muezersky District species with good potential for amateur fishing were determined, food resources available to fish were assessed, and the fishery loading on the lake was estimated. The infrastructure and the road network condition in the districts were assessed.
