The Taimen Conservation Fund is implementing a major conservation and research project on the Eg-Uur River Watershed aimed at creating a sustainable catch and release taimen fishery and establishing a model for taimen conservation in Mongolia. Research is being undertaken by the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the University of Nevada-Reno, and the University of California-Davis, and the Mongolian Institute of Geoecology.
The 5-year study will assess population status, migrations, and threats to healthy populations of taimen, and the role of taimen as a part of the broader ecosystem. Information produced by the science team will be used to develop a natural resource management plan for the region.
More information on the ecology of taimen, and the latest news on taimen science and conservation can be found on the Taimen science team website .
