VNIRO scientists took part in the conference «World Fish Market. International cooperation against the pandemic»

The conference dedicated to topical issues of restoration and further development of the global fishing industry was held today in an online format.

The cancellation of the world’s leading exhibitions and forums has not reduced the need for key players in the industry to share experiences and opinions. The online format allowed us to discuss the current situation in the industry, assess the impact of the pandemic and predict future developments.

Despite the closed nature of the online conference, its interface allowed you to ask a question to any of the speakers. They are: Deputy Minister of agriculture of the Russian Federation – head of the Federal Agency for Fisheries Ilya Shestakov, Secretary of the FAO Subcommittee on fish trade Marcia Castro de Souza, managing Director of Beijing Seabridge Marketing & consulting Ivan Zubin, business correspondent of the international information holding IntraFish demi Korban and other experts in the global fishing industry.

Scientists of VNIRO and its Atlantic, Polar, Kamchatka and Pacific branches took part in an important event for the industry.

The Conference aroused great interest among representatives of fisheries science, especially the announcement by the speakers of the need to build new expeditionary vessels. The meeting stressed the importance of integrated scientific research on the aquatic biological resources of the world’s oceans to produce accurate and timely forecasts.
