Tridge summary

The All-Russian Institute of Fisheries and Oceanography (VNIRO) is planning a Great African Expedition in mid-2024 to study fish and crustacean stocks off the coast of Africa to make predictions for fishing and recommend development of aquatic resources. The research will cover coastal waters from Morocco to Angola, as well as the western Indian Ocean, and will involve scientific groups with specialists from various fields, lasting more than a year. The goal of the expedition is to strengthen Russia's position in protecting its fisheries interests and to provide scientifically based assessments and recommendations for the future exploitation of aquatic biological resources in African waters.

The All-Russian Institute of Fisheries and Oceanography (VNIRO) will organize a Great African Expedition in mid-2024 to study fish and crustacean stocks off the coast of the mainland. The results obtained will make it possible to make forecasts of the relative possible fishing and give recommendations for the effective development of aquatic biological resources, including by Russian fishermen, VNIRO director Kirill Kolonchin told TASS. “Research within the framework of the Great African Expedition, which will begin in mid-2024, will be comprehensive. Estimates of the biomass and number of fish and crustaceans, estimates of the number of juveniles will be made. Counting the number of juvenile fish will help assess the state of fish populations for the future. The features of their biology will be studied , distribution, stock dynamics depending on oceanological and hydrochemical conditions, ecosystem characteristics, food supply and much more,” Kolonchin said, noting that the ...
