Abstract

Information on dynamics of abundance for sockeye salmon of Russian origin is presented, with assumptions on prospects of this species fishery in the future decade. The average annual catch in the period from 1907 to 2022 was about 27 thousand tons. The abundance of Asian sockeye salmon decreased twice (before 1927 and in 1965–2001) and increased twice (in 1928–1964 and since 2002 to the present) for 35–37 years. So, the stock fluctuated with the period about 70–75 years. This dynamics of sockeye salmon abundance is very similar to changes in the stocks of other pacific salmon species of Russian origin; in particular, the annual catches of sockeye salmon correlate closely with the landing of pink salmon and chum salmon in 1971–2022. Taking into account these regularities, prospects of sockeye salmon fishery in the Russian waters are estimated. High values of the annual catch, no less than 35 . 103 t, are expected until late 2020s — early 2030s.
