Trends in the development of the fisheries complex and consumption of fish products in the country

The purpose of the work is to analyze current trends in the development of the Russian fisheries complex and identify the causes of the stagnant dynamics of consumption of fish products by the population.

Methods used: general scientific research methods, as well as methods of statistical analysis of time series, graphical and coefficient methods.

The element of novelty: The current interdependence between the dynamics of fish catch, the actual financial results of economic activities of enterprises, as well as the general level of consumption of fish products by the population has been revealed. The study based on quantitative analysis complements the existing economic theory with new empirical data necessary to clarify the current directions of development of the country’s fisheries complex for its sustainable development.

The results of the study: the actual catch of fish in Russia, which reached its historical maximum in modern history of 5.3 million tons in 2023, with simultaneously high levels of exports of fish products, provided an increased level of profitability of economic activities of enterprises and an increase in their financial independence in comparison with other sectors of the economy, however, the studied trends in the development of the fisheries complex were not broadcast in advance the increase in consumption of fish products by the population, in particular, from 2010 to 2022.

Practical significance: the obtained research results and empirical data can be used by the authorities in developing relevant directions for the sustainable development of the country’s fisheries complex.
