The Caspian Sea is the largest closed lake on earth, stretching across two parts of the world - Asia and Europe. It is distinguished by a unique ecosystem that is home to more than four hundred endemic species unique to this region.
The Caspian seal is endemic and the only representative of aquatic mammals in the Caspian Sea. It is at the top of the food chain, so the stable state of its population serves as an indicator of the well-being of the entire marine ecosystem.
We present for your attention the scientific and educational film “Caspian Seal”, prepared by order of the Fisheries Committee of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the NCOC company.
The chief researcher of IEE RAS, Chairman of the RAS Scientific Council on Problems of Ecology of Biological Systems, Academician of the RAS Vyacheslav Vladimirovich Rozhnov took part in the filming.
