The impetus for its organization was a sharp drop in the catches of Pacific salmons in the basin of the Amur River in 2017 and 2018, when after the maximum catch in 2016 (65,2 thousand tons), their catch decreased to 26,9 and 21,6 thousand tons, respectively. This required the adoption of urgent management decisions to preserve their reserves, as well as the expansion of the study of the Amur aquatic biological resources. The expedition has a complex character; the research covers the channel and accessory system of the middle and lower Amur, as well as Khanka Lake. Totally completed: about 5 thousand stations, more than 1,1 thousand hydrobiological samples were taken, about 40 thousand fish were subjected to bioanalysis. New data on the biology of Pacific salmon, smelts, freshwater and sturgeon fish species have been obtained and partially published (70 papers). A number of modern innovative research methods have also been introduced (the use of UAVs and GIS systems to account for Pacific salmon spawners, microchemical analysis of otoliths to assess the effectiveness of their artificial reproduction). The results obtained are of wide practical importance: they are used in the development of measures to regulate the fishing of various aquatic biological resources, including when amending the Fishing Rules.","PeriodicalId":129863,"journal":{"name":"Problems of fisheries","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115091670","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Volga and the Kuibyshev reservoir and noted the changes that have occurred in its population. Prior to the creation of the reservoir in the conditions of the Middle Volga, male zander matured at the age of 5–6 years, females at 6–7 years. In the Kuibyshev reservoir, pike perch becomes sexually mature at the age of 4–5 years, and a small part of it matures at the age of three. In the reservoir, due to ecological plasticity and the ability to lay eggs in a wide temperature range, regardless of the level regime of the reservoir and the spawning substrate, a gradual increase in its biological indicators, abundance and reserves began to be noted. Improving the feeding conditions of zander in the reservoir contributed to earlier puberty, an increase in the absolute fecundity of fish and its abundance in the reservoir. This contributed to an increase in zander catches since 1974, which in 1985 reached a maximum of 517 tons (9,2% of the total fish catch in the reservoir). Sufficiently high catches of zander over the past 10–15 years indicate the stability of its stocks in the Kuibyshev reservoir, which currently tend to increase. The multi-age sizeweight composition of zander in the Kuibyshev reservoir is represented by both young and older individuals, and confirms that the population is in good condition.

The most active fishing zones in the open part of the World Ocean outside the exclusive economic zones of coastal states, which may be of interest for the development of domestic oceanic fishing, have been identified and described. The most active fishing takes place in the open areas of the World Ocean, which are not covered by the regulation of regional fisheries organizations, and especially active is the fishing for species that are not regulated by them. First of all, squid are such commercial species. Tunas and other pelagic predators are also promising species in open areas of the World Ocean. The main types of fishing vessels in the open ocean are longline fishing vessels, jigging vessels and purse seiners. The information provided will be in demand when organizing the fishing of biological resources in areas beyond national jurisdiction, as well as preparing exploratory research expeditions to promising fishing areas.","PeriodicalId":129863,"journal":{"name":"Problems of fisheries","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133301727","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ICES’ position of the depressed shallow pelagic and deep pelagic redfish stocks lacks substantial evidence from the results of the surveys in 2018–2021 and analytical assessment carried out by the Russian experts for the single redfish stock. The results allow assessing the current state of the stock as ‘good’.

As a result, this caused intense discussions both within the framework of the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) and at the meetings of the Joint Norwegian-Russian Fisheries Commission. In 2021, at a specialized ICES workshop («benchmark» group), the input data and configuration of the main assessment model - SAM, were refined, related to the inclusion of additional information on older age groups. As a result, two models currently used by the ICES working group to estimate cod stock (SAM and TISVPA), which are very different in their approaches, showed that the number of generations born in 2004–2005 significantly decreased, which led to a decrease in cod biomass. An assessment of the prospects for the state of the stock, performed both on the basis of calculations using the SAM model and on the basis of an alternative approach using the AMO (Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation Index), showed a high probability of further decline and stabilization of the spawning stock biomass (and catches) in the next 2–3 years, after which restoration of spawning stock biomass is likely due to sufficiently abumdante generations born in 2011 and 2014.","PeriodicalId":129863,"journal":{"name":"Problems of fisheries","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122097849","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
