Aniva 

a gulf of the Sea of Okhotsk off the southern coast of the island of Sakhalin, between the Kril’on and Tonino-Aniva peninsulas. It opens wide on the south into the La Pérouse Strait. It is 104 km wide and 90 km long, and its greatest depth is 93 m. The northern, narrower part is called the Bay of Lososei.
