The head of the Federal Agency for Fisheries, Ilya Shestakov, assessed the progress of the salmon run during a working visit to the region, where more than half of the Russian Far East's total volume is projected to be caught.

Pacific salmon in the Russian Far East are key fisheries for the country. Kamchatka, for its part, ranks among the region's leaders in catch volumes and will account for more than half of the projected Far East salmon run in 2026.

According to industry estimates, approximately 227,000 tons of salmon could be caught during this year's run across the entire Far East, more than half of which—approximately 117,400 tons—will be caught in Kamchatka Krai. In the region's main fishing areas, Russian fishermen catch pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha), chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta), sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka), and chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha). After several weeks of activity, as of July 1, more than 2,700 tons of salmon have already been recorded as caught in Kamchatka. This season, 94 industrial enterprises, 117 indigenous communities, and 100 fishing grounds are operating in the region for recreational fishing.

Fishing enterprises operate on both the eastern and western coasts, while fishing in the Kamchatka-Kuril and Karaginsky subzones continues to add volumes. In the Petropavlovsk-Komandorsky subzone, fishing is concentrated primarily in Kamchatka Bay and the Kamchatka River basin. The main species caught is sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka), which will continue active fishing here until mid-August. On the western coast, high runs of sockeye salmon are expected in the Ozernaya River area.

During a working visit to Kamchatka Krai, Ilya Shestakov, head of the Federal Agency for Fisheries (Rosrybolovstvo), met with Governor Vladimir Solodov and held a meeting of the salmon fishing headquarters. This working group meeting was attended by representatives from the Primorsky and Khabarovsk Krais, Sakhalin and Magadan Oblasts, the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, territorial administrations of the Federal Agency for Fisheries, and subordinate organizations. Visits to several key fishing enterprises are also planned. The main topic of the trip was the discussion of the progress of the salmon run, its key objectives, and prospects.

"Overall, the fishing season has begun as expected—science has predicted it. Kamchatka has been a leader in salmon fishing since Soviet times, and it remains so today. The headquarters' main task is to identify the problems and nuances that exist in organizing the fishing season and jointly develop the necessary solutions," noted Ilya Shestakov, head of the Federal Agency for Fisheries.

Within the framework of the season, industry researchers developed a strategy for Pacific salmon fishing in Kamchatka Krai, which was openly discussed at various venues. This year, the key principles that have proven successful in previous years have been maintained. As part of the scientific support for monitoring the run, the Russian Federal Research Institute of Fisheries and Oceanography (VNIRO) conducted a trawl survey and established approximately 100 seasonal observation points. Scientists use a full range of tools to assess salmon runs, ranging from walking patrols to drones, genetic analysis, mathematical models, and elements of artificial intelligence.

Ensuring unimpeded access for salmon to their spawning grounds and preventing illegal fishing remains a key priority for regulatory agencies. To this end, a comprehensive interagency monitoring system has been deployed on the peninsula. Public inspectors, stationary fisheries protection posts, mobile task forces, unmanned aerial systems, and other tools for interaction are involved in the protection of aquatic bioresources within the framework of agreements with fisheries associations and specialized enterprises.

Ilya Shestakov, head of the Federal Agency for Fisheries, noted the importance of coordinating the efforts of all agencies and regions to ensure stable salmon production in the region.

サケが移動中:カムチャッカではベニザケが今シーズンの進捗をリード

連邦漁業庁のイリヤ・シェスタコフ長官は、ロシア極東地域の総漁獲予定量の半分以上を占めると予測されるカムチャッカへの作業訪問中に、サケ遡上の進捗状況を評価した。

ロシア極東地域の太平洋サケは、同国にとって極めて重要な漁業資源である。カムチャッカは同地域における漁獲量のリーダー的存在であり、2026年の極東地域全体のサケ予測遡上量の半分以上を占める見込みである。

業界の推計によると、今年の遡上期間中に極東全体で約227,000トンのサケが漁獲される可能性があり、その半分以上(約117,400トン)がカムチャッカ地方で漁獲される見通しである。同地域の主要な漁場では、ロシアの漁業者がカラフトマスOncorhynchus gorbuscha)、シロザケOncorhynchus keta)、ベニザケOncorhynchus nerka)、マスノスケOncorhynchus tshawytscha)を漁獲している。数週間にわたる操業を経て、7月1日時点で、カムチャッカではすでに2,700トン以上のサケの漁獲が記録されている。今シーズンは、同地域において94の公認企業117の先住民族コミュニティ、および遊漁用の100の漁区が稼働している。

漁業企業は東海岸と西海岸の両方で操業しており、カムチャッカ・クリルおよびカラギンスキー副管区での漁獲量も引き続き増加している。ペトロパブロフスク・コマンダスキー副管区では、主にカムチャッカ湾カムチャッカ川流域に漁業が集中している。主な漁獲対象種はベニザケOncorhynchus nerka)であり、ここでは8月中旬まで活発な漁獲が続く予定である。西海岸では、オゼルナヤ川周辺でベニザケの大量遡上が予想されている。

カムチャッカ地方への作業訪問中、連邦漁業庁(ロスルイボロフストボ)イリヤ・シェスタコフ長官は、ウラジーミル・ソロドフ知事と会談し、サケ漁業本部の会議を主宰した。この作業部会の会議には、プリモルスキー地方およびハバロフスク地方サハリン州およびマガダン州チュクチ自治管区の代表者、連邦漁業庁の地方管区および傘下組織が参加した。また、いくつかの主要な漁業企業の視察も予定されている。今回の訪問の主なテーマは、サケ遡上の進行状況、その主要な目標、および今後の見通しについての議論であった。

「全体として、漁期は科学が予測した通り、期待通りに始まっている。カムチャッカはソ連時代からサケ漁のリーダーであり、今日でもその地位を維持している。本部の主な任務は、漁期の組織化において存在する問題やニュアンスを特定し、必要な解決策を共同で策定することである」と、連邦漁業庁イリヤ・シェスタコフ長官は述べた。

今シーズンに向けて、業界の研究者らはカムチャッカ地方における太平洋サケ漁業の戦略を策定し、様々な場で公開議論を行った。今年は、過去数年間で成功を収めた主要な原則が維持されている。遡上監視のための科学的支援の一環として、全ロシア海洋漁業研究所(VNIRO)はトロール調査を実施し、約100箇所の季節限定観測点を設置した。科学者らは、徒歩によるパトロールからドローン、遺伝子解析、数理モデル、人工知能の要素に至るまで、あらゆるツールを駆使してサケの遡上を評価している。

サケが産卵場へ妨げられることなくアクセスできるようにすること、および密漁を防止することは、規制当局にとって引き続き極めて重要な優先事項である。このため、同半島には総合的な機関間監視システムが展開されている。水産資源保護のための、民間監視員、固定式漁業保護ポスト、移動式タスクフォース、無人航空機システム、およびその他の連携ツールが、漁業協会や専門企業との合意の枠組みの中で、水圏生物資源の保護に関わっている。

連邦漁業庁イリヤ・シェスタコフ長官は、同地域における安定したサケ生産を確保するために、すべての機関および地域の努力を調整することの重要性を指摘した。

鲑鱼正在洄游:红鲑领跑堪察加捕捞季进程

联邦渔业局局长伊利亚·谢斯塔科夫在对堪察加半岛进行工作访问期间评估了鲑鱼洄游的进展。据预测,该地区的渔获量将占俄罗斯远东地区总预测捕捞量的一半以上。

俄罗斯远东地区的太平洋鲑鱼是该国的关键渔业资源。堪察加半岛作为该地区的捕捞量领头羊之一,将占 2026 年远东地区鲑鱼预测洄游总量的一半以上。

根据行业估计,今年整个远东地区的鲑鱼洄游期间捕捞量可能达到约 227,000 吨,其中一半以上——约 117,400 吨——将在堪察加边疆区捕捞。在该地区的主要渔场中,俄罗斯渔民主要捕捞粉鲑Oncorhynchus gorbuscha)、秋鲑Oncorhynchus keta)、红鲑Oncorhynchus nerka)和帝王鲑Oncorhynchus tshawytscha)。经过数周的捕捞活动,截至 7 月 1 日堪察加已记录捕捞了超过 2,700 吨鲑鱼。本航季,该地区共有 94 家工业企业117 个原住民社区100 个休闲渔场投入运营。

捕捞企业在东海岸和西海岸同时开展作业,而堪察加-千岛卡拉金斯基子区的捕捞量也在持续增加。在彼得罗巴甫洛夫斯克-科曼多尔斯基子区,捕捞活动主要集中在堪察加湾堪察加河流域。捕捞的主要品种是红鲑Oncorhynchus nerka),此处的捕捞活动将一直持续到 8 月中旬。在西海岸的奥泽尔纳亚河地区,预计将出现红鲑的高峰洄游。

在对堪察加边疆区进行工作访问期间,联邦渔业局(Rosrybolovstvo)局长伊利亚·谢斯塔科夫会见了州长弗拉基米尔·索洛多夫,并主持召开了鲑鱼捕捞总部会议。来自滨海边疆区和哈巴罗夫斯克边疆区萨哈林州和马加丹州楚科奇自治区联邦渔业局地方管理部门及下属组织的代表出席了该工作组会议。此外,还计划访问几家关键的捕捞企业。此次行程的核心议题是讨论鲑鱼洄游的进展、关键目标及前景。

“总体而言,捕捞季正如预期般开始——科学界已经对此做出了预测。自苏联时代以来,堪察加一直是鲑鱼捕捞的领头羊,至今依然如此。总部的核心任务是找出捕捞季组织工作中存在的具体问题与细微之处,并共同制定出必要的解决方案,”联邦渔业局局长伊利亚·谢斯塔科夫指出。

在捕捞季期间,行业研究人员制定了堪察加边疆区太平洋鲑鱼捕捞策略,并在多个场合进行了公开讨论。今年,往年被证明成功的关键原则得以保持。作为监测洄游科学支持的一部分,俄罗斯联邦海洋渔业与学研究所(VNIRO)开展了拖网调查,并建立了约 100 个季节性观测点。科学家们正在使用全套工具来评估鲑鱼洄游情况,包括徒步巡逻、无人机、基因分析、数学模型以及人工智能元素。

确保鲑鱼顺利进入其产卵场并防止非法捕捞仍然是监管机构的核心任务。为此,半岛上已部署了全面的跨部门监测系统。在与渔业协会和专业企业签署的合作协议框架下,社会督导员、固定渔业保护站、移动工作组、无人机系统及其他互动工具均参与到了水生生物资源的保护工作中。

联邦渔业局局长伊利亚·谢斯塔科夫强调了协调所有机构和地区努力的重要性,以确保该地区鲑鱼生产 stable 的稳定。
