Decisions on the introduction of new stocks into the fishery became the central block of discussion.: They are based on up-to-date data from the state monitoring of the Far Eastern Federal District in the Karaginsky subzone and Yuzhno-‑The Kuril zone. Alexey Baitalyuk, Deputy Director and Head of the Pacific Branch, made a report on this topic. He also presented proposals to adjust the previously approved values of total allowable catches for 2027 — the changes affect the North‑Kuril zone, Primorye and Zapadno subzones‑Sakhalin subzone.
The Council participants paid special attention to the problem of the negative impact of jellyfish in the Sea of Azov. Arsen Mirzoyan, Deputy Director and Head of the Southern Branch, presented the results of scientific research aimed at reducing this impact, as well as highlighted promising areas for organizing jellyfish fishing and their industrial processing.
The Science Council is a key advisory and expert body under the head of Rosrybolovstvo, bringing together leading scientists and industry experts. Its role is to ensure that management decisions are made on a sound scientific basis: to evaluate monitoring results, justify the amount of allowable catch, propose measures to preserve ecosystems and introduce promising technologies.
It is thanks to the work of the Council that the sectoral policy is formed taking into account up—to-date data on the state of aquatic biological resources and modern scientific approaches, which allows maintaining a balance between the economic efficiency of fishing and the ecological sustainability of aquatic ecosystems.
