“Two ships are standing at the pier, one aviary with belugas has been brought to them, and loading of animals has begun,” Targulyan quoted RIA Novosti as saying.

In early October, specialists from the All-Russian Research Institute of Fisheries and Oceanography released 14 belugas from Srednyaya Bay in the Primorsky Territory to the Sea of ​​Okhotsk.

The FAN reported that beluga whales are weaned from people before being released into the wild.

The situation with the “whale prison” became resonant after reports appeared about preparations for the illegal sale of red book killer whales to China.
