Geography

The river originates at the confluence of the rivers Assyni (Ассыни) and Konin. It flows into a 30 km wide swampy area before ending in the Tugur Bay of the Sea of Okhotsk.[2]

The Tugur is a good place for fishing, with species such as grayling, lenok, Siberian salmon, and northern pike being abundant in its waters and many species spawning in the river.[3] There is also a great variety of wildlife on its banks, with brown bears, Manchurian wapiti, wolves, and otters. Among the birds the golden eagle, osprey, mergansers, and geese deserve mention.
