By the order of Fenix LLC which implements the project on construction of Multipurpose Sea Cargo Complex "Bronka" (MSCC Bronka, Big Port St. Petersburg), 18,600 underyearlings of speckled trout have been produced and released into Ladoga lake by FSUE Federal Genetic Selective Fishery Center (FGSFC, Ropsha Leningrad region) as a compensatory measure under Bronka project, Fenix says.
“Such measures will help preserve the endangered population of the Ladoga speckled trout, one of the most valuable species in the North West region.
All in all 91,736 babyfish of speckled trout were released in 2013-2015.
Multipurpose Sea Cargo Complex "Bronka" (MSCC Bronka) is being built on the southern shore of the Gulf of Finland, where the Dam and the Ring Road border the territory of Lomonosov. The Bronka Complex will comprise three specialized facilities: a container terminal encompassing 107 hectares, the Ro-Ro terminal of 57 ha and a logistics center of 42 ha. Container terminal will have a 1,220 m-long quay wall (including 5 berths). The length of Ro-Ro terminal's dock line will be 710 meters (3 berths). After completion of Bronka Phase 1 its capacity will reach 1.45 million TEUs and 260,000 units of Ro-Ro cargoes. In future the MSCC Bronka expansion will help increase the facility's container throughput to 1.9 million TEUs. Upon completion of the port's construction and dredging to the design mark of 14.4 meters in 2015 MSCC Bronka will be able to accommodate Post-Panamax containerships and the ferries of Finnstar class. Implementation of the Bronka project is expected to generate 2,300 jobs at its marine terminals alone. The first liner vessel called to Bronka on the 8th of September 2015.
