On the organization of fishery of water biological resources, the total permissible catch of which is not established

Statistical information on industrial fishery in the inland waters of the Russian Federation for 2020-2024 were analyzed. An analysis of the development of the recommended production volumes in the inland waters of the Russian Federation and the species composition of catches showed that the modern organization of industrial fishing does not provide either maximum sustainable catch for the main commercial species, or balanced exploitation of aquatic biological resources. Thus, the formation of new principles for organizing fisheries is required, which could ensure a uniform load on the reserves of aquatic biological resources and minimize overfishing of the main commercial species. As a first step proposed to conclude a single agreement for the main species of water biological resources, the total permissible catch of which is not established.
