Abstract

The article proposed to discuss a concept of new strategy for the sustainable use of populations of aquatic organisms using as an example a fishery for Walleye Pollock in the Far Eastern seas of the Russian Federation. It is shown that the current regulations governing the impact of fishing contained in the Fishing Regulations do not quite consider changes related to the dynamics of pollock populations parameters. As a result, there is an uncontrolled and often negative impact of fishing, which leads to changes in the phenotypic and size-age structure of W. Pollock populations being fished, which ultimately affects the profitability of fishing. It is proposed to develop a separate strategy for each W. Pollock stock unit, which annually regulates the level of fishing impact, depending on the state of the stocks and market conditions. The proposed strategy concept makes it possible to regulate not only the allowable volume of catch, but also the size structure of catches, by changing the fishing parameters every year. It will keep the harvested stocks stable and will help to obtain the maximum possible fishing profitability.
