This was stated by the head of Rosrybolovstvo Ilya Shestakov. "I'm sure 5 million (tons of fish – ed.) this year we certainly won't get us at least to maintain the level and volume that we mined last year", — said Shestakov.

While the volume of fish catch this year more than last year by 2%, but salmon fishing season compared to the previous two years is not very good, he said.

"Scientific data show that fish is in the sea, she should go to spawn. Scientists say that this happens all due to the warming of the world ocean, so the South of Sakhalin now will be less available to salmon approaches", — said Shestakov.

Shestakov noted that the total catch will strongly depend on how will sumbaeva and ivasiv Putin. "There will be a good amount more than last year, but still he will not block a possible decline in salmon", he added.

In 2016 the total volume of fish catch in Russia grew by 5.6% to the previous year and amounted to 4.67 million tons.

Previously Shestakov said that by 2022 Russia can increase fish catch by approximately 20% – to 5,7 million tons.
