Daguestan Fisheries Station ('34) 



History or origin: In 1924 the speciaUst S. A. 

 Mitropolski organized a small ichthyological 

 laboratory on the wharf of the Daguestan Fish 

 Trust with the object of studying the fisheries 

 of the Republic. In 1925 this merged into the 

 Daguestan Central Scientific and Industrial 

 Laboratory of the Daguestan Central Soviet of 

 People's Economy as its Ichthyological Section. 

 In 1928 the Ichthyological Laboratory of the 

 Daguestan People's Commissariat of Agriculture 

 was organized by the specialist N. A. Dmitriev. 

 In 1929 these two institutions merged under the 

 name of Daguestan Scientific Fisheries Station 

 with N. A. Dmitriev as director. In 1933 the 

 station was renamed "The Daguestan Branch of 

 the Caspian Scientific Fisheries Institution," 

 and in 1934 under the All-Union Scientific Re- 

 search Institution of Marine Fisheries and 

 Oceanography it became the Daguestan Fisheries 

 Station. 



Location: Makhach-Kala (formerly Petrovsk Port), 

 Batareini pereoulok No. 1, in Daguestan Au- 

 tonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (North Cau- 

 casus). The town is situated on the west coast 



of the Caspian Sea and ha.s a port. The Institu- 

 tion is located 250 meters from the shore in the 

 town. 



Organization to which attached: All-Union Scientific 

 Research Institution of Marine Fisheries and 

 Oceanography. 



Purposes: Principal objects of research are the 

 marine resources, the biology of marine fishes and 

 other marine useful animals, the physics and 

 chemistry of the sea. 



Scope of activities: The Caspian Sea coast from the 

 north boundary of the Republic (river Samur) 

 to the south boundary (river Kunia) and 35^0 

 miles seawartl (the limit for the research motor 

 boat) and inland mountain rivers and fresh-water 

 lakes (Eisenam Lake, the lower course of the 

 rivers Terek, Sulak, and Samur). 



Equipment: The station has its own house with two 

 laboratories, ichthyological and hydrological, and 

 two museum rooms. The remaining five rooms 

 are used as living rooms by the director and 

 scientific personnel. Two research vessels. Boat 

 No. 2, a flat-bottomed, steel, sail and motor boat 

 of 300 tons with 2 45-h.p. Deitz engines, and 

 OcTioBRENOK, a woodcn sail and motor boat of 

 the Japanese Kav.'asaki-type, with one 12-h.p. 

 "Vosrojdenie" engine, for work along the coast. 

 The scientific equipment of the station is quite 

 satisfactory. A fully equipped hydrochemical 

 laboratory, a library of 3345 volumes. 



Staff: Director, A. P. Korniev. 



Ichthyologists: T. S. Glebov, chief; D. A. Sanu- 



shevitch, E. M. Mankevitch.

 amounted to Rbls. 144,000. The 1934 budget is 

 estimated at Rbls. 141,000. 



Provision for publication of results: The Daguestan 

 Ichthyological Laboratory published one issue of 

 "Reports of the Daguestan Ichthyological Lab- 

 oratory," 1930. The Daguestan Scientific In- 

 stitution of Fisheries and Oceanography has no 

 publication of its own. Its papers are published 

 in the "Bulletins of Fisheries," "Planned Economy 

 of Daguestan," "Russian Biological Journal,"
