Russia: Fish and Seafood Production and Trade Update
The 2014 total Russian wild catch remained stable, only down slightly versus the total catch in 2013. Russia has continued with the comprehensive reorganization of its fisheries sector, from resources management to processing and distribution, through a number of government resolutions and rules to improve regulation and transparency. However, an obsolete fleet combined with an underdeveloped fishing port infrastructure, poaching, administrative barriers, and lack of investment remain as main constraints to sustainable development of the sector.
