The International Scientific and Practical Conference «Modern assessment methods and rational use of aquatic biological resources» is a continuation and development of the VNIRO Branch Methodological Seminar, organized by V.K. Babayan in 1985, and has been held annually since that time. The discussed reports cover a broad geographic scope of research and a diverse range of species. They examine and provide practical recommendations for addressing the most pressing issues in stock assessment of commercial aquatic species and substantiating total allowable catch (TAC). Besides, the Conference is a platform for exchanging experiences and establishing contacts between employees of scientific and educational organizations in the fisheries sector.
