Abstract
For more than two decades, the «precautionary approach» has been the basis for regulating the fishery of most targets of international and domestic fishery, aimed at the implementation of fish catches at a relatively low level, ensuring the safest state of stocks and the highest productivity. Another management concept currently in use is the improved Maximum Sustained Yield (MSY) approach, which focuses on fishing at the maximum level without exceeding a safe level of stock status. The results of the application of two concepts of fishery regulation given in the work on the example of walleye pollock in the Navarin region of the Bering Sea and the northern part of the Sea of Okhotsk in 2002–2022, showed that the application of the modern MSY concept allows to increase catches by 15–30% compared to recommendations for the fishery based on the «precautionary approach».
