Abstract
Based on the results of generalization of long-term data on the volume of industrial fishing in freshwater bodies of Russia for 2014–2023, a comprehensive analysis of the state of industrial fishing for the period under review was carried out.The purpose of the work is to analyze the dynamics of quantitative indicators and the qualitative composition of commercial catches in freshwater bodies of Russia.Methods used: official annual data on the volume of industrial fish catch in freshwater bodies of Russia for 2014–2023 received from the territorial departments of Rosrybolovstvo were processed in accordance with modern statistical accounting standards.Novelty: new data on the state of industrial fishing in freshwater bodies of Russia for 2014–2023 are summarized and analyzed.According to the results of the analysis, it was found that there was a significant increase in industrial catch (by 3–10 times) in freshwater bodies of Russia in the period from 2014 to 2023, it was observed only in the water bodies of the West Siberian fisheries basin, mainly due to more intensive exploitation of reserves of the raw material base of small–scale species in the lake fund of the region. The remaining fisheries basins have been characterized by stagnation of catch over the past ten years, and in some basins (Western) there is a tendency to decrease it. The trend of decreasing the volume of catch of valuable fishing objects (primarily long-cycle whitefish species) has not changed over the described period, their share in the rivers of the ObIrtysh and Yenisei basins continues to decrease.Practical significance: the results of the analysis of industrial fishing in freshwater bodies of Russia for 2014– 2023 at the present stage of research allow us to assess the prospects for the development of the freshwater component of the fisheries complex in certain regions, identify problems related to the development of fishing on rivers, lakes and reservoirs and work out ways to solve them.
