Abstract
Objective: to assess changes in the structure of the modern fishery for sablefish Anoplopoma fimbria in the EEZ of Russia in the context of the growth of its resources and identify prospects for its immediate development.
Methods: in preparing the article, the methodology of analyzing specialized marine fish fishery in the western part of the Bering Sea was used on the basis of data from ship’s daily reports, information from open sources and archival materials were involved. Standard methods of data processing and interpretation were used.
Novelty: the paper analyzes the current structure and intensity of fishing for sablefish in the West Bering Sea zone, considers the prospects for the development of its specialized catch by bottom tiers and traps
Result: тhe analysis of the retrospective and current dynamics of stocks and fishing of sablefish within the range is carried out. The changes in the structure of its catch in the West Bering Sea zone, both specialized and in the form of by-catch, are considered. The trends in the dynamics of fishing indicators against the background of the growth of fishery resources are revealed. The prospects for the near-term development of the fishery are assessed and some recommendations are given regarding its regulation.
Practical significance: the results obtained will be used to develop recommendations and measures to regulate fishing for the rational use of sablefish resources in the West Bering Sea zone.
