Deputy Prime Minister Victoria Abramchenko has called for the development of mechanisms to compensate fishing vessels for fuel costs in foreign waters and to provide government support for krill production. The Federal Agency for Fishery and the Ministry of Agriculture, along with other bodies, have been directed to submit proposals on these matters by mid-March and late-April respectively. This follows earlier announcements of subsidies for fishing in remote areas and plans for state support in krill fishing vessel construction.
