Eugeny Shirokov, a head of North-East territorial department of the Federal fishery agency:
"From our part we do all the best to be ready to fight against poachers. And we work – more than 400 protocols about breaking of fish guard legislation have been already executed.
Now we are receiving different proposals from those fishing companies, which have won the conditions of tenders and appointed fishing sites for 20 years. Today these companies are very interested in conserving the resource, which is to provide development of their business, and they are ready to help fish guard bodies to struggle against poachers seriously to defend spawning-grounds". |

Competitions on the allocation of salmon fishing sites in Kamchatka gather speed as it was with fishing auctions. Fishermen are ready to pay easy money to get longing sites. The pay for fishing sites participants themselves offer exceeded all reasonable limits and reached enormous proportions in ten millions of roubles. One of the fishermen was ready to pay… one billion of roubles (US$40 million).
Not for nothing fishermen compare these competitions with fishing auctions – then fee for 1 kg of crab exceeded the value of crab production and we know the result – moratorium (total prohibition) for crab catches was decreed. Probably, the same will occur with salmon.
But salmon fights only become hot.
And what results and consequences will they have for fishermen? |

At the open hearings in Kamchatka Regional Duma deputies voted unanimously for the complete ban on drift-net fishing for Salmon in the Russian waters.
A film with the interview given by one of the drifter vessel crew member was demonstrated during the hearings. This film was telling on the fact that the total harvest of Salmon, that includes also the harvests which are not registered in the fishing operations registry journal on board, exceeded the reported catch made by this vessels in as much as 10 times. This means that 90% of the catch made by vessel, from which that crew member told his story, was not registered / accounted for at all. It included Pink Salmon, Chum Salmon and lower quality Sockeye Salmon that were not good enough to the Japanese customers and thus discarded overboard. read more |
