Due to restrictions related to the coronavirus, China has temporarily halted the reception of products from Russia, impacting the usual sales market for harvested pollock. In response, the Okhotsk sea fishing headquarters has decided to redirect the streams of harvested pollock to Russian factories. However, as most Chinese fish processing plants have sent workers on vacation, a significant part of the fish caught by the fish factories of the Far Eastern region cannot be processed. Ten Russian vessels with 32 thousand tons of fish on board are currently awaiting unloading at the Dalian port, and negotiations are underway to develop procedures to restore service to Russian vessels.
