Increase in Caught Fish in Russia by 2 Percent

In 2023, Russia has made significant strides in its fishing industry, breaking records and cementing its position as the world's leading salmon fisher. According to Rosrybolovstvo, the country's national fish catch has reached an impressive 5.3 million tons, a 2% increase from last year's figures, with over 1.6 million tons caught as of April 10.

The growth in fish catch is not limited to specific regions. The Far East, North Basin, Azov-Black Sea Basin, and Eastern Siberian and Baikal Basins have all contributed to this impressive figure. In the Far East, fishermen have surpassed 1.32 million tons, marking a 6% increase from last year. The North Basin saw a 14.6% increase, with 157,000 tons harvested. The Azov-Black Sea Basin also experienced a 9% increase, with 10,600 tons caught.

The Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia had particularly high fish catch quotas in 2023, significantly contributing to Russia's salmon dominance. The increase in freshwater fish species harvesting in the internal waters of the Eastern Siberian and Baikal Basins continues in 2023.

Rosrybolovstvo, the Russian federal agency responsible for fisheries, regularly monitors the volumes of fish catch and the supplies of fish products to domestic and foreign markets. The goal of their monitoring is to ensure that the population has an adequate supply of fish products. They also keep a close eye on the growth trends in different regions to understand the industry's overall health and identify any potential challenges.

Despite these impressive figures, no specific information has been provided about the impact of these trends on the fish population or the environment. Nor is there any information about the economic implications of these trends for the fishing industry or the economy as a whole.

As the world's leading salmon fisher, Russia is poised to continue its growth in the fishing industry, ensuring a steady supply of fish products for its population and the global market. The industry's success is a testament to the hard work and dedication of fishermen across the country and the effective monitoring and management by Rosrybolovstvo.
