The expedition was carried out within the framework of the List of priority marine and freshwater expeditionary studies of the Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institution "VNIRO" for 2024 under the Program: "Comprehensive studies of salmon in the Russian Far East in 2022-2025". During the research, data characterizing the biological parameters of salmon producers were collected, the dynamics of the spawning run were assessed, and samples were taken for molecular genetic analysis to clarify the population affiliation of the salmon being caught.
According to the Okhotsk Territorial Administration of the Federal Agency for Fisheries, as of August 22, the catch by all types of fishing here was 8,166 tons.
Let us recall that in accordance with the strategy of Pacific salmon fishing in the Magadan Region, fishing will continue here until September 30. The data obtained during monitoring allows us to assess the prospects for the dynamics of the fishery and make timely management decisions during the fishing season.
