Abstract
The aim of the work: to consider the history of intensive fishing and its impact on the state of red bed-forming algae stocks in order to develop an optimal regime for modern fishing of Ahnfeltia in Izmena Bay.
Methods used: the analysis was based on literature sources and information obtained in 1989-2021 according to the recommended methods of fishery research.
Novelty: analyzed data on the impact of fishing on the resources of red bed-forming algae, revealed the relationship between extraction from the «live» bed and degradation of fields, developed recommendations for the exploitation of the Ahnfeltia bed in Izmena Bay, Kunashir Island.
Result: The experience of exploitation of red bed-forming algae cenopopulations in the USSR has clearly demonstrated that exploitation of a «living» bed inevitably leads to subsequent degradation of reserves and destruction of its (bed) structure. In spite of the fact that each field shows different resistance to impact, it is more reasonable to base fishing on regularly formed pre-discharge accumulations. The volume of pre-release accumulations for all bed-forming algae is significant. In order to preserve the commercial importance of the Ahnfeltia field in Izmena Bay, it is proposed to prohibit fishing for Ahnfeltia in the center of the main bed. At the same time, the pre-discharge accumulations formed in the coastal zone at depths up to 2 m can be removed completely.
Practical significance: developed recommendations for the rational use of resources of the commercial algae Ahnfeltia fastigiata var. tobuchiensis in the Sakhalin Region.
