The main contribution was made by fish farmers of the Republic of Dagestan - about 5.4 thousand tons, Stavropol Territory - 2.8 thousand tons and the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania - about 1 thousand tons.
3.34 thousand tons were produced in the Central Federal District, almost 2.2 thousand tons in the Volga Federal District (8.2% more), in the Urals - more than 1.9 thousand tons (7% more), in the Siberian federal district - 651 tons.
Traditionally, the main segments of the commercial aquaculture production structure are represented by salmon, carp and herbivorous fish species, valuable seafood (oysters, mussels, scallops and other mollusks, echinoderms), sturgeon, and whitefish.
Commercial aquaculture is the industry development driver.
Domestic fish farmers every year make an increasing contribution to the all-Russian production of fish products, providing the domestic market with fresh, live and chilled fish and seafood.
