Russia's Federal Fisheries Agency predicts that by 2030, the country's fish and other living water bodies catch volume will reach six million tons, largely due to increased iwasi sardine production in the Far East and a new highly efficient fleet. Despite challenges such as declining cod stocks and environmental issues, fish and seafood production in Russia has already seen a nine percent increase this year, surpassing one million tons.

As TASS reports, such forecasts were voiced by the head of the Federal Fisheries Agency (Rosrybolovstvo) Ilya Shestakov. He named several prerequisites for this. For example, in the Far East there are serious opportunities to increase the production of iwasi sardines. Also, Russian fishermen will have a new highly efficient fleet at their disposal, and one of the existing vessels has begun fishing in the Antarctic.
