Trawling in the Mist : Industrial Fisheries in the Russian Part of the Bering Sea

This report presents the findings of the study on industrial fisheries in the Russian part of the Bering Sea region, with a focus on activities off the Kamchatka peninsula. The study reveals that Kamchatka's fishing sector is in a crisis situation characterised by a sharp drop in production potential, and a deteriorating financial return that encourages the illegal harvesting of marine biological resources. Based on the findings of this study, strategies and recommendations to address unsustainable and illegal harvest and trade in marine resources were developed.Vaisman, Alexey is the author of 'Trawling in the Mist : Industrial Fisheries in the Russian Part of the Bering Sea', published 2001 under ISBN 9781858501888 and ISBN 1858501881.
