The Director General of the Union of Fisheries of the North, Konstantin Drevetnyak, has raised concerns about the development of quotas for catching aquatic biological resources in the northwestern part of the Atlantic, specifically in the NAFO region. He highlighted that the total allowable catches are only 5 thousand tons out of 25 thousand tons, with sea bass, stingrays, burbot, and squid remaining undeveloped. Drevetnyak suggested that applicants should receive fuel subsidies to use the Russian quota in the NAFO zone and warned that if these quotas are not used, there may be a reduction in Russia's future quotas. He also stressed the need for a declarative principle and discussed the challenges of underfishing in distant areas due to sanctions restrictions, disrupted logistics, and increasing fuel costs.
