For two days, Russian researchers have been talking about their work in various areas of the world's oceans and the practical significance of the results obtained. The event brings together representatives of science and education, government and industry. It is a platform for dialogue and discussion of the results of marine research and their potential to solve the problems of industry and business.
The Plenary session was attended by Deputy Director, State Secretary Evgeny Usolov. Konstantin Bandurin, Deputy Director and Head of the Atlantic Branch, reported on the results of the Large African Expedition.
"The Great African expedition has shown that Russia is a country that adheres to the principles of responsible fishing in any area of the World Ocean. It can already be said that the result of its implementation, along with obtaining valuable scientific materials, is the development and strengthening of cooperation with the coastal countries of Africa, strengthening the position of the Russian Federation in the oceans. There are real prerequisites for expanding the geography and scale of domestic fishing," Konstantin Viktorovich noted in his speech.
Oleg Bulatov, Director of Scientific Work, made a presentation at the round table "Current state and prospects of oceanographic data and information exchange".
On the second day of the conference, Konstantin Bandurin, Deputy Director and Head of the Atlantic Branch, delivered a report on ensuring the protection of Russian fisheries interests in the Antarctic region, and Konstantin Sokolov, Acting Director of the Polar Branch, highlighted fisheries research in the Barents Sea and adjacent Arctic waters in 2024-2025.
Specialists from the Pacific and Kamchatka branches spoke about the biological foundations of tuna fishing in the Far Eastern waters of Russia and about the analysis of the influence of abiotic factors on the distribution and survival of pollock in the waters of the Avacha Bay.
Andrey Pedchenko, a leading researcher at the Freshwater Fish Department, told the participants about the study of microplastics in the western sector of the Russian Arctic.
The Conference's approaches are aimed at demonstrating the possibilities of applying the results obtained in the framework of expeditionary research to solve the problems of socio-economic development of the Russian Federation.
