Far Eastern waters anchor record-pacing yields as the critical Bering Sea expedition kicks into high gear

The Russian fishing fleet has crossed a major operational milestone by bringing in more than 1.947 million tons of aquatic bioresources since the start of the year. According to the Federal Agency for Fisheries industry monitoring system, the official data compiled as of May 25 highlights robust activity across the nation's primary maritime territories, solidifying the industry's strong momentum moving into the summer.

A major driver of this year's volume is the crucial Bering Sea pollock expedition, which officially launched on May 15. The Pollock Association forecasts that this specific expedition will deploy between 60 and 70 fishing vessels, with the total seasonal catch expected to hit between 500,000 and 550,000 tons. This stable outlook matches last year’s performance and positions Russia's total pollock harvest to surge past the 1.5 million ton mark by this summer. Pollock remains the undisputed anchor of the country's commercial fishing sector, accounting for over 40% of the entire national catch.

        

This new campaign follows the closing of Russia’s largest annual fishing event, the Sea of Okhotsk pollock run, which concluded on April 10. Total pollock hauls across the expansive Far Eastern fishery basin reached 1.021 million tons. While this figure sits 3.5% below the historic, record-breaking numbers seen in 2025, it remains a significant 6% higher than the five-year annual average, proving that long-term yields remain highly elevated.

A closer look at the regional breakdowns provided by the Federal Service for Fisheries showcases how different maritime basins contributed to the national total:

  • Far Eastern Fishery Basin: Leading national production with 1,583.9 thousand tons total. This included 1,106.6 thousand tons of pollock, 58.6 thousand tons of cod (an increase of 0.4 thousand tons over 2025), 266.1 thousand tons of Pacific herring (up 11.1 thousand tons from 2025), and 25.5 thousand tons of Far Eastern flounder.

  • Northern Fishery Basin: Yielded 146.2 thousand tons, marking an increase of 4.6 thousand tons compared to the 2025 level. The catch featured 71.8 thousand tons of cod and 35.4 thousand tons of haddock, which saw a notable jump of 11.1 thousand tons over last year.

  • Western Fishery Basin: Brought in 43.9 thousand tons, up 3.7 thousand tons from 2025. This basin saw 33.2 thousand tons of sprat (a 6.4 thousand ton increase) and 9.5 thousand tons of Baltic herring.

  • Volga-Caspian Fishery Basin: Recorded 29.1 thousand tons of total catch, which included 12.8 thousand tons of sprat.

  • Azov-Black Sea Fishery Basin: Generated 16.8 thousand tons, heavily driven by 12.4 thousand tons of anchovy.

Beyond domestic waters, Russia’s distant-water fleet continues to maintain a significant global footprint. Operations mapping across the conventional areas, the open part of the World Ocean, and the exclusive economic zones of foreign nations successfully yielded 121.182 thousand tons of aquatic bioresources to round out the global harvest.

ロシアの漁獲量が大規模なスケトウダラ夏季豊漁により200万トンに迫る

ベーリング海での極めて重要な遠征が本格化する中、極東の海域が過去最高ペースの生産量を牽引

ロシアの漁船団は、年初から194万7000トンを超える水産バイオマス資源を水揚げし、操業上の大きな節目を越えた。連邦漁業庁の業界モニタリングシステムによると、5月25日時点でまとめられた公式データは、国内の主要な海域における活発な活動を浮き彫りにしており、夏に向けて業界の強い勢いを確固たるものにしている。

今年の生産量を牽引する主な要因は、5月15日に正式に開始された極めて重要なベーリング海スケトウダラ遠征である。スケトウダラ漁業者協会の予測では、この特定の遠征に60隻から70隻の漁船が投入され、今シーズンの総漁獲量は50万トンから55万トンに達する見込みである。この安定した見通しは昨年の実績に匹敵するものであり、ロシアのスケトウダラ総漁獲量が今年の夏までに150万トンの大台を突破する勢いを示している。スケトウダラは依然として国の商業漁業部門において不動の柱であり、ロシア全国の総漁獲量の40%以上を占めている。

この新しいキャンペーンは、4月10日に終了したロシア最大の年間漁業イベントであるオホーツク海スケトウダラ漁の閉幕に続くものである。広大な極東漁業地域におけるスケトウダラの総漁獲量は102万1000トンに達した。この数値は、記録破りとなった2025年の数値を3.5%下回っているものの、過去5年間の年間平均数値を大幅に6%上回っており、長期的な生産量が高水準を維持していることを証明している。

連邦漁業庁が提供した地域別の内訳を詳しく見ると、さまざまな海域が全国の総量にどのように貢献したかが分かる:

  • 極東漁業地域: 総計158万3900トンで国内生産を牽引。これには、スケトウダラが110万6600トン、タラが5万8600トン2025年の水準と比較して400トン増加)、ニシンが26万6100トン2025年から1万1100トン増加)、そして極東のカレイが2万5500トン含まれる。

  • 北方漁業地域: 146万2000トンを生産し、2025年の水準と比較して4600トンの増加を記録。この漁獲は、7万1800トンのタラと、昨年比で1万1100トンの大幅な跳ね上がりを見せた3万5400トンのコダラを特徴としている。

  • 西方漁業地域: 4万3900トンを水揚げし、2025年から3700トン増加。この地域では、スプラット(キビナゴ類)が3万3200トン6400トン増加)、バルトニシンが9500トンであった。

  • ボルガ・カスピ海漁業地域: 総漁獲量2万9100トンを記録し、これには1万2800トンのスプラット(キビナゴ類)が含まれる。

  • アゾフ・黒海漁業地域: 16万8000トンを創出し、その大部分は1万2400トンのカタクチイワシによって牽引された。

国内の水域を越えて、ロシアの遠洋漁船団は世界で大きな足跡を維持し続けている。条約区域、大洋の公海部分、および外国の排他的経済水域にわたる操業は、世界的な漁獲量を締めくくるために12万1182トンの水産バイオマス資源の抽出に成功した。

俄罗斯捕捞量因夏季狭鳕大丰收正逼近两百万吨大关

远东海域引领创纪录的产量增速,此时关键的白令海捕捞远征正全面展开

俄罗斯渔船队自年初以来已捕捞超过 194.7万吨 的水生生物资源,跨越了一个重大的业务里程碑。根据 联邦渔业署 行业监测系统的监测,截至 5月25日 汇编 Official 的官方数据突显 out 了该国主要海域的强劲活动,巩固了该行业进入夏季的强劲势头。

今年捕捞量的主要驱动力是至关重要的 白令海 狭鳕远征,该活动于 5月15日 正式启动。狭鳕捕捞者协会 预测,这次特定的远征将投入 60至70艘渔船,预计整个季度的总捕捞量将达到 50万至55万吨。这一稳定的预期与去年的表现持平,并预示着俄罗斯的狭鳕总捕捞量将在今年夏天前飙升突破 150万吨 大关。狭鳕仍然是该国商业捕捞业无可争议的支柱,占俄罗斯全国总捕捞量的 40% 以上。

这一新战役是在俄罗斯每年最大的捕捞活动——鄂霍次克海 狭鳕汛期于 4月10日 结束后展开的。在广阔的 远东 渔业盆地,狭鳕的总捕捞量达到了 102.1万吨。虽然这一数字比 2025年 创纪录的歷史数字低了 3.5%,但仍比过去五年的年平均数字高出显著的 6%,证明了长期产量依然保持在高位。

仔细查看 联邦渔业署 提供的区域细分,展示了不同海洋盆地如何为全国总量做出贡献:

  • 远东渔业盆地:1583.9千吨 的总量引领全国产量。这包括 1106.6千吨 的狭鳕、58.6千吨 的鳕鱼(比 2025年 水平增加 0.4千吨)、266.1千吨 的太平洋鲱鱼(比 2025年 增加 11.1千吨)以及 25.5千吨 的远东比目鱼。

  • 北方渔业盆地: 产量为 146.2千吨,创下与 2025年 水平相比增加 4.6千吨 的记录。该捕捞量的特点是 71.8千吨 的鳕鱼和 35.4千吨 的黑线鳕,后者比去年出现了 11.1千吨 的显着增长。

  • 西方渔业盆地: 捕捞了 43.9千吨,比 2025年 增加了 3.7千吨。该盆地捕捞了 33.2千吨 的鲱形小沙丁鱼(增加 6.4千吨)和 9.5千吨 的波罗的海鲱鱼。

  • 伏尔加-里海渔业盆地: 记录了 29.1千吨 的总捕捞量,其中包括 12.8千吨 的鲱形小沙丁鱼。

  • 亚速海-黑海渔业盆地: 产出 16.8千吨,主要由 12.4千吨 的鳀鱼所驱动。

除了国内水域外,俄罗斯的远洋渔船队继续在全球保持显着的足迹。在公约区域、世界大洋 的公海部分以及外国的专属经济区内进行的捕捞作业成功提取了 121.182千吨 的水生生物资源,完成了全球捕捞总量。
