The most active fishery takes place off the coast of the Kamchatka territory. Total catch there amounted to 115,7 million tonnes (+25% by 2015). In the Magadan region spent 3 thousand tons, which corresponds to the same odd-numbered years. In the Sakhalin region the volume of the catch amounted to 3.7 thousand tons, which is less by 2015 on 54%. Approaches to the shores of Sakhalin, as predicted earlier, is much weaker, which requires the introduction of additional restrictions. In the Khabarovsk territory mastered by 3.7 thousand tons. In Primorsky Krai, the catch is only in the framework of sport and recreational fishing.

In connection with the good return of pink salmon, the decision was made to adjust recommended catch of pink salmon in karaginskoe subzone in 2017, with 73,7 thousand tons to 123.7 thousand tons, also supported the recommendation to increase the catch of pink salmon in the Petropavlovsk-commander subzone.

In the Khabarovsk region, the pink salmon season moving in the wrong direction. Mass approaches at the moment are not marked. Salmon comes into the rivers in small portions, fishing companies expect approaches of the autumn chum salmon, which should give the main increase in catch.

In the Magadan region the catch of chum salmon exceeds the forecasted value, at the same time pink salmon are looking in smaller quantities than expected. In this regard, it was decided to introduce a limit on the number of rivers of the olsky district to ensure filling of the spawning grounds.

In General, the approaches of salmon correspond to the projections prepared by research institutions, according to the Agency.
