Russian fishing this year caught 3% less fish and seafood than in the past because of the unsuccessful salmon run, said the head of Rosrybolostovo Ilya Shastakov in an interview with Vesti journalist Maria Kudryavtseva. The salmon catch amounted to 100 thousand tons. At the same time, in previous years they caught 300 - 400, sometimes 600 thousand tons. "Such volumes, of course, were not seized in the Soviet Union," Shatkov points out. "And therefore, during this time, we created such a principle that caviar is cheap, that red fish is abundant, it should also be cheap. But in fact, of course, all aquatic biological resources have periods when the supply increases, and there are periods when the supply decreases." In September, at the Eastern Economic Forum, Shastakov warned that salmon consumption will "reduce" due to a decrease in catch, and the price will be higher than in previous years.
