To ensure continuity of industry development and to address safety issues in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, Ilya Shestakov, head of the Federal Fisheries Agency, in collaboration with two agencies, Rospotrebnadzor and Rosselkhoznadzor, has developed new clean regulations to ensure that fishing vessels and staff are free from the virus.
In 2021, 130 fishing boats and 12,000 people will be engaged in fishing operations, and the average daily catch in the waters of Okhotsk will be between 8,000 and 9,000 tons. (Source: Fisheries Expo)
