伏尔加河渔业在前苏联占有极其重要的地位。

V olga River Fishery in the former Soviet Union occupies a very important place.为救护珍贵回游鱼类，补偿因建库带来的渔业损失，采取了修建升鱼建筑物、开展人工繁殖放流、发展水库养鱼等措施，取得了良好的效果。

rare migratory fish ,the government took a series of measures: built up artificial propagation of fish buildings, the development of reservoir ,etc,which achieved good results.
虽然伏尔加河的广泛开发对俄罗斯的经济作出了重大贡献，但又产生了不利的生态后果。

水坝和水库系统已阻塞并切断白鲟的通道，并已根本改变了近70种当地鱼的栖息地。

这些变化——还有工业、城市排放物及农业排水的污染——已导致主要伏尔加河渔场的恶化。

Although the extensive development of the Volga River has made a significant contribution on the Russian economy,it has had a negative ecological consequences. Dams and Reservoirs system has been blocked and cut off access to white sturgeon, and nearly 70 have been fundamental changes in the local fish habitat..These changes, and emissions from the industrial, urban and agricultural drainage pollution -- have led to a major deterioration of the Volga River fishing grounds.
