Fisherman's Day

A professional holiday in Russia and several former Soviet states, held on the second Sunday of July.

Fisherman's Day was set as a professional holiday in the Soviet Union in 1965 and is still kept in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan and other former Soviet countries on the second Sunday of July. Fishing ports such as Murmansk, Vladivostok and Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky hold parades, contests and fish fairs. Russia's catch is dominated by the Alaska pollock of the Sea of Okhotsk and Bering Sea, cod and haddock of the Barents Sea, and the Pacific salmon runs of Kamchatka.

Still to be written: Alaska pollock, Atlantic cod, Pink salmon, Beluga (sturgeon).
