On the regulation of the fishery taking into account its effectiveness using the example of pollock in the northern part of the Sea of Okhotsk

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to consider the question of the criteria for the effectiveness of fishing during the year using the example of pollock of the Severo-Okhotomorskaya subzone.Materials and methods: The work analyzed the effectiveness of the fishery based on the data of the fishery and statistical information of the Center for the Fishery Monitoring and Communications System of the Federal Agency for Fishery. The main indicators for the analysis were: pollock production by month, production per vessel-day of fishing, number of vessels per vessel, number of vessels per vessel-day of fishing, share of production beheaded + 25 in total production beheaded. The highly profitable pollock fishery of season “A” is observed in February, March and April, which is confirmed by reliably different indicators of the average production volume and the volume of production per ship-day of fishing during these months relative to season “B” (at p < 0.001).The results of the study: The results of the analysis of the considered indicators may indicate such reasons as the suboptimal amount of the total allowable catch, the development of which requires increased costs and, as a result, reduces the economic efficiency of the fishery, suboptimal schemes for the arrangement of the fleet.Practical significance: The results obtained during the work indicate the need to take into account economic and social criteria when assessing the efficiency of the exploitation of reserves of aquatic biological resources, which are currently not taken into account in fisheries management.
