Biodiversity CRTC However, fresh water resources at Turkmen coast are limited. There is only one river Atrek at the border with Iran, but its waters could not reach the sea during the last five years. It provides spawning grounds for commercial fish species of the area such as roach and carp. At present their condition is of a great concern. In the 1930’s the catch of the species was 75-80% of the total catch of Turkmen waters of the Caspian (maximum catch was recorded in 1934, which was 10,720 ton of roach and 2,100 ton of carp). Later the catch reduced to 200 ton of roach and 50 ton of carp due to various reasons such as sea level decrease, reduction of river discharge, development of irrigated farming etc. Fishing had to concentrate on kilka.

Spawning grounds of Atrek populations of roach and carp are located in downstream floods of the river.

Harvard Gazette: First U.S.-led Iran dig in decades: The Atrek River flows along the border of the former Soviet republic of Turkmenistan. This location close to the border of the Soviet Union kept the area closed throughout the Cold War years. Unfortunately for archaeologists interested in exploring the region, by the time the Soviet Union fell, the Iranian revolution had occurred, closing the country to foreign scientists.

Turkmenistan - WaterWiki: As far as the Tedzhen and Atrek waters are concerned, the treaty signed in February 1926 between Iran and Turkmenistan remains in force. This treaty stipulates that Turkmenistan receives each year a quantity equal to 70% of the total Tedzhen average runoff, and 50% of the total Atrek average runoff. This corresponds to an average of 0.75 km³/year for the Tedzhen River and 0.06 km³/year for the Atrek River.

Soran's Home Page / ماڵپه ڒی سوران: The southern and southwestern shorelines of the Caspian Sea are bordered by the Elburz Mountains and the Caucasus Mountains. The sea has numerous tributaries, notably the Volga, Ural, and Zhem rivers, all of which flow into it from the north. Other tributaries include the Gorgan (Gurgan) and Atrek rivers, flowing from the east, and the Kura River, flowing from the west.

Kitaran Sea Guidebook - Geography: Rushing down from the mountains, this river moves far too fast for boats until it reaches Atrek City. From there, it widens a bit, but continues to move swiftly to the sea. No boats can move upstream without serious effort.
