Tridge summary

A draft strategy for the sustainable exploitation of halibut stocks in the Far Eastern fishery basin until 2040 will be discussed on July 7. The strategy aims to address the decline in halibut stocks in the Sea of Okhotsk and Bering Sea due to natural factors and global warming. The draft uses advanced models and methods to predict stock sizes and total allowable catch. It also introduces a ban on juvenile by-catch and considers the division of halibuts into two types for fishery management. The strategy emphasizes the importance of regulating fishing through quotas and preventing overfishing.

The draft strategy for the long-term exploitation of halibut stocks in the Far Eastern fishery basin for the period up to 2040 will be considered on July 7 at a meeting of the scientific advisory council on flounder fish under the Science Council of the Federal Agency for Fishery. The state of halibut stocks in the Far Eastern fishery basin causes serious concern among scientists of the VNIRO Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institution. As a result of natural reasons (lack of productive generations, global rearrangements in the composition and structure of ichthyocenes, changes in oceanological conditions due to global warming), the number of main stocks of black halibuts in the Sea of Okhotsk and white-horned in the Bering Sea began to decline. Accordingly, the decrease in the amount of the stock proportionally decreases the total allowable catch of halibuts. So the preliminary materials for the forecast of TAC for 2022 show a decrease in TAC by 25-30% compared to the current ...
