According to Roman Novikov, head of the Marine Fish laboratory of the branch, at the first stage of the annual monitoring, work was carried out at the coastal fish processing plant located in the village of Ozernovsky (southwestern coast of the Kamchatka Territory). At the same time, materials were collected on the biological status of the main commercial species in fishing catches.
In the future, the data will be used to estimate WBR reserves using mathematical modeling methods, as well as to forecast stocks and determine catch values for 2028.
