From March 1 to March 3, fisheries for Russian anchovy and Azov anchovy were conducted in the Black and Azov Seas, primarily off the western coast of Crimea. The Black Sea anchovy fishery saw increased efficiency with daily catches ranging from 0.2 tons to 42 tons, while the Azov anchovy fishery was less active, with daily catches from 6 tons to 26 tons. The sea surface temperatures ranged from 7-9 °C at the Crimean coast and 9-10 °C at the Caucasian coast. The fishing efficiency varied due to wind conditions and the distribution of anchovy species.
