On commercial exploitation of biological resources in waters of Kamchatka Territory

Abstract

The dynamics of commercial catch of biological resources during the second decade (2011–2020) of the 21st century in sea waters adjacent to the Kamchatka Territory was characterized in the article. The level of such catch is estimated in comparison with the previous decade; a comparative assessment of the operated species is made. The structure conformity of the actual biological resources catching with the predicted one is considered. It was established that according to the degree of predicted catch development herring and salmon were in the lead, crabs were in third place and pollock was the fourth one. A significant poor catch was observed in relation to other important fishery objects and the most pronounced was for mollusks.
