Russian fishermen are projected to maintain a fish catch of around 5 million tons in 2025, according to Alexander Panin, Chairman of the Fishing Union. The current catch is slightly below the targeted 5.322 million tons but shows positive trends in the catch volumes of Iwashi, Far Eastern squid, and herring. However, there is a decrease in the total allowable catch of northern cod in the Barents Sea, leading to higher prices. Aquaculture, particularly salmon production, is experiencing a decline due to sanctions, issues with planting material, vaccines, feed, increased expenses, and high credit costs.
