The President of the All-Russian Association of Fishery Enterprises, Entrepreneurs and Exporters, German Zverev, predicts that Russia's salmon catch could increase to between 310-320 thousand tons by 2025, a significant rise from the expected 250 thousand tons and the lowest catch in the past two decades. However, he also anticipates a decrease in cod catch next year. Despite the current stable situation with pollock, herring, and sardine Iwashi, the permissible catch of cod has been reduced from the previous year. In 2024, Russia secured the top spot in the world for salmon fishing, with a catch of 235 thousand tons, sufficient for the domestic market.
