Strong performance in the Far East offsets moderate gains across other regions, according to official data

MOSCOW — Russia’s fishing industry has crossed a major early-year milestone, with total aquatic bioresource catches reaching 1,092,900 tons, according to the industry monitoring system of Rosrybolovstvo (Federal Agency for Fisheries). The figures highlight the dominant role of the Far Eastern basin, while other regions show steady but more modest contributions.

Far Eastern Fishery Basin: 936,400 tons

The Far Eastern basin remains the backbone of Russia’s fishing sector, accounting for the overwhelming majority of the national catch.

  • Pollock: 698,600 tons

  • Cod: 31,900 tons

  • Pacific herring: 149,100 tons (+5,100 tons vs. 2025)

This region alone contributes over 85% of total output, driven largely by pollock fishing, one of Russia’s most valuable commercial species.

Northern Fishery Basin: 69,800 tons

The Northern basin posted stable growth, particularly in haddock landings.

  • Cod: 39,400 tons

  • Haddock: 16,900 tons (+4,900 tons vs. 2025)

The increase in haddock signals improving stock conditions and effective quota management compared to the previous year.

Western Fishery Basin: 19,200 tons

The Western basin showed moderate gains, with sprat leading the segment.

  • Sprat: 15,800 tons (+1,300 tons vs. 2025)

  • Baltic herring: 3,300 tons

While smaller in scale, this basin continues to supply key regional markets.

Azov–Black Sea Fishery Basin: 9,200 tons

Fishing activity in the Azov–Black Sea basin remains concentrated in a single dominant species.

  • Anchovy: 8,500 tons

Anchovy continues to be the primary commercial driver in this southern region.

Volga–Caspian Fishery Basin: 9,200 tons

The Volga–Caspian basin recorded similar volumes to the Azov–Black Sea region, with a strong reliance on sprat.

  • Sprat: 8,100 tons

The Russian fishing trawler Peter I broke the catch record in 2024, with 93,500 tons harvested in less than 12 months

International Waters and Foreign Zones: 45,500 tons

Beyond domestic waters, Russia’s fleet operating in foreign exclusive economic zones, conventional fishing areas, and the open ocean harvested approximately 45,500 tons, reinforcing the country’s global fishing footprint.

Overall, the data underscores Russia’s continued dependence on the Far Eastern fisheries, while incremental gains in northern and western regions contribute to a stable national outlook for 2026.

ロシア、漁獲量が100万トンを突破 主要流域が年初の急増を牽引

極東の好調が他地域の緩やかな伸びを補完、公式データが示す

ロシア・モスクワ — 2026年3月16日。 ロスリボロフストヴォ(連邦漁業庁)の業界モニタリングシステムによると、ロシアの水産資源の総漁獲量は1,092,900トンに達し、年初として重要な節目を突破した。このデータは、極東流域の圧倒的な存在感と、他地域の安定的ながら控えめな貢献を浮き彫りにしている。

極東漁業流域:936,400トン

極東流域は依然としてロシア漁業の中核であり、国内総漁獲量の大部分を占めている。

  • スケトウダラ:698,600トン

  • タラ:31,900トン

  • 太平洋ニシン:149,100トン(2025年比 +5,100トン)

この地域だけで総生産量の85%以上を占めており、ロシアで最も価値の高い商業魚種の一つであるスケトウダラ漁業が牽引している。

北部漁業流域:69,800トン

北部流域は安定した成長を記録し、特にハドックの水揚げ増加が目立った。

  • タラ:39,400トン

  • ハドック:16,900トン(2025年比 +4,900トン)

ハドックの増加は、資源状況の改善と前年と比較した効果的な漁獲枠管理を示している。

西部漁業流域:19,200トン

西部流域は中程度の増加を示し、スプラットが主要種となっている。

  • スプラット:15,800トン(2025年比 +1,300トン)

  • バルトニシン:3,300トン

規模は小さいものの、この流域は地域市場への重要な供給を継続している。

アゾフ海・黒海漁業流域:9,200トン

アゾフ海・黒海流域の漁業活動は、単一の主要種に大きく依存している。

  • アンチョビ:8,500トン

アンチョビはこの南部地域における主要な商業資源であり続けている。

ヴォルガ・カスピ海漁業流域:9,200トン

ヴォルガ・カスピ海流域はアゾフ・黒海地域と同程度の水準を記録し、スプラットへの依存が高い。

  • スプラット:8,100トン

海外水域および公海:45,500トン

国内水域外では、外国の排他的経済水域協定水域、および公海で操業するロシア漁船団が約45,500トンを漁獲し、同国の世界的な漁業展開を裏付けている。

全体として、このデータはロシアが引き続き極東漁業に大きく依存していることを示す一方で、北部および西部地域の漸進的な成長が2026年の安定した見通しに寄与している。
