Total domestic and international harvest climbs to nearly two million tons as multiple regional basins report significant growth over last year
A sweeping surge in maritime production has pushed the total catch of aquatic bioresources by all Russian users to more than 1,887,700 tons as of May 18 , according to the latest data from the Federal Agency for Fisheries' industry monitoring system ( Rosrybolovstvo ). The rapid pace of the seasonal harvest puts the country's fishing sectors well on track to eclipsing the two-million-ton mark ahead of schedule.
The regional breakdown reveals distinct operational successes across independent fishing zones, alongside strong contributions from long-range international fleets.
Far Eastern Fishery Basin
The vast majority of the national total originated in the Far Eastern waters, which brought in a massive 1,545.1 thousand tons of seafood. The basin's output was heavily driven by a booming pollock season, anchored by several key species:
-
Pollock: 1,091.1 thousand tons
-
Pacific herring: 257.6 thousand tons (marking an increase of 2.8 thousand tons compared to the 2025 level)
-
Cod: 55.5 thousand tons
-
Far Eastern flounder: 24.8 thousand tons
Northern Fishery Basin
Operations in the Northern basin yielded 138.3 thousand tons , reflecting an upward swing of 2.6 thousand tons over the same period in 2025. Cod and haddock remained the dominant targets for regional trawlers:
Western Fishery Basin
Fishermen working the Western basin secured 42.6 thousand tons , outperforming the previous year's mark by 4 thousand tons . Small pelagic species drove the positive margins:
Volga-Caspian Fishery Basin
In the inland waters of the Volga-Caspian region, fleets successfully harvested 26.8 thousand tons of aquatic bioresources. A single key species made up nearly half of the local volume:
Azov-Black Sea Fishery Basin
The southern operations within the Azov-Black Sea basin brought in a total of 16.3 thousand tons . The regional catch was overwhelmingly dominated by a single species:

International and Deep-Sea Operations
Beyond domestic territorial waters, the high-seas segment of the Russian fleet demonstrated significant global reach. Deployments stretching into the exclusive economic zones of foreign states, highly regulated conventional areas, and the open expanses of the World Ocean successfully extracted 112,548 thousand tons of bioresources, further solidifying the nation's footprint in international seafood supply chains.

Russian fleet achieves major fishing milestone in global waters
With several regional basins reporting significant increases compared to last year, total domestic and international fish catches have climbed to nearly two million tons.
According to the latest data from the Federal Fisheries Agency 's industry monitoring system ( Rosrebolovstovo ), as of May 18 , the total catch of aquatic biological resources by all Russian users had exceeded 1,887,700 tons , indicating a comprehensive surge in marine production. The rapid progress of seasonal fishing makes it entirely possible for the country's fisheries sector to surpass the two million ton mark ahead of schedule.
Regional breakdown data shows that each individual fishing basin has achieved significant operational success, while the international ocean-going fleet has also made a strong contribution.
Far East Fishing Basin
The vast majority of the country's total output originates from the Far East waters, bringing in a staggering 1,545,100 tons of seafood. The basin's production is primarily driven by a robust pollock season and is supported by several core fish species:
-
Pollock: 1,091.1 thousand tons
-
Pacific herring: 257.6 thousand tons ( an increase of 2.8 thousand tons compared to 2025 levels )
-
Cod: 55.5 thousand tons
-
Far Eastern flounder: 24.8 thousand tons
