The Dynamics, Structure, and Drivers of Fish Catches in the Russian Federation (2005–2017)

Abstract

The long-term series of data on fish catches obtained in the fishery industry of Russia allow objective evaluation of the dynamics of the development of the industry in general, as well as assessment of the statistical characteristics of production. The results of an analysis of catches for 2005–2017 are used to determine the general trends in the development of fisheries for each of the fishery basins and to identify growth rate and structure of catches from inland and marine waters, which are required to prepare and implement various programs, strategies, and forecasts. Based on the studied quantitative parameters of catches, a chain of formation of a catch with flow rates is constructed and its practical application to solve various applied problems is demonstrated.
