"The Lake Baikal Seal: Already Endangered" (on-line), Baikal Watch.

The Baikal seal, Lake Baikal seal, or nerpa (Pusa sibirica, obsolete: Phoca sibirica), is a species of earless seal endemic to Lake Baikal in Siberia.

However, Nerpa had a "crowd of civilians" on board and the boat was "overcrowded".

The Tyulen and Nerpa survived the war but had very different fates.

They are valued primarily as the principal food source for the nerpa, which are harvested commercially.

They are extensively preyed upon by nerpa, for which the golomyanka are the primary food source.

Baikal also hosts a species of seals, Baikal seal or nerpa.

"Russia did not launch talks on a contract to supply India with the Nerpa nuclear-powered submarine."

Times change, and last week NPS-291 made her final voyage, to Russia's Nerpa shipyard.

Pusa sibirica (Nerpa or Baikal seal)

On 10 November, a Russian Navy statement blamed the disaster on an "unsanctioned operation" of the fire suppression system aboard the Nerpa.

Of particular interest is documenting past exploitation of aquatic resources (including Nerpa, the freshwater seal of Lake Baikal) for which the region is famous.

Despite this improvement, the November 2008 accident on board the Akula-class attack boat Nerpa during sea trials before lease to India represents a concern for the future.

Vika and Sergei translate the message; which announces a nuclear submarine K-152 Nerpa is waiting in the Moscow River to take survivors to safety.

Three hundred Indian Navy personnel are being trained in Russia for the operation of the Akula II submarine Nerpa.

The LOKh fire suppression system aboard the Nerpa was reportedly of a new type that had not previously been used aboard any Russian submarine.

The town's main employer is the Nerpa shipyard which is responsible for servicing and repairing the nuclear submarines of the Russian Northern Fleet.

The K-159, which had been decommissioned by the Russian Navy in 1989, broke loose as it was being towed to the Nerpa dismantling site near Murmansk.

Nikolai Povzyk, the head of the shipyard, complained they had not been paid the 1.9 billion roubles (63.8 million dollars) owed for the work carried out on the Nerpa.

The Nerpa, the largest vessel in the class, was the first to go into action in March 1915, followed by the Morzh and Tyulen later that same month.

Shipyards are located in Murmansk, Severodvinsk, Roslyakovo, Polyarnyy, Nerpa, and Malaya Lopatka.

The new system installed on the Nerpa could also operate in automatic mode, responding to smoke and rises in compartment temperature and activating individually in each compartment.

A 2008 accident at the Nerpa nuclear-powered submarine killed 20 Russian seamen and injured 21 others when its fire-extinguishing system activated in error and spewed suffocating Freon gas.

After 24 patrols the Nerpa went into refit in 1917 in Nikolayev but had to be laid up due to a shortage of essential parts and did not rejoin the war effort.

However, the construction times for these ships tended to stretch out extensively: in 2003 it was reported that the Akula class SSN Nerpa had been under construction for fifteen years.

While K-152 Nerpa was undergoing sea trials in the Sea of Japan on 8 November 2008, an accident caused the deaths of some twenty sailors and injury to twenty-one others.

Surrounded by Patheka, Jalpa, Nerpa and Baksila, this village split into nine wards geographically and stretches from Tapkhola at the bottom to Rupakot at the top.
