Tridge summary

Russia's fisheries are facing a decline in global standings, from fifth or sixth place to competing with countries like India, Peru, and the United States, catching 5 million tons of biological resources, including 4.7 million tons of fish in 2019. This is due to advancements in international fisheries, which have increased the total world catch by 17% to 84 million tons. However, Russia's fish stock is not depleted, with the main contribution coming from the Far East and stable raw material base, despite fluctuations in species numbers and declines in Pacific salmon catches due to warm water temperatures. The country anticipates harvesting more ivasi sardines, Pacific cod, and Pacific herring next year, with Caspian sprat expected to replace anchovy and sprat in the Azov and Black seas.
