Russian fishermen have crossed the threshold of 5 million tons, with another month of active fishing ahead. According to the Center for Fisheries Monitoring and Communication System (CSMS - subordinate to Rosrybolovstvo), by December 5, 2023, the total volume of production of aquatic biological resources by all Russian users reached 5.028 million tons - almost 10% more than the level of the same period last year. This figure was achieved largely due to successful salmon fishing and the development of the Iwasi sardine in the Far East.
In the Far Eastern fishery basin, the volume of catch increased by 15.3% and reached 3.8 million tons. The pollock fishery produced 19.8 thousand tons more – 1.8 million tons. The herring catch amounted to more than 355.8 thousand tons, flounder - 73.6 thousand tons, cod - 107.9 thousand tons. The volume of Pacific salmon production reached 609 thousand tons, which is 13% more than in 2021.
As of December 5, the total load of refrigerators for storing fish products in the Primorsky Territory was 50%. There are 57.4 thousand tons of fresh frozen fish products in the fish terminals.
