esults of salmon fishery in the Khabarovsk Region in 2024

Abstract

The catch of pacific salmon in the water bodies of the Khabarovsk Territory in 2024 was initially forecasted in 51.7∙10³ t. During the fishing season, one adjustment was made for pink salmon in the Primorye fishing subzone where the allowable annual catch was increased in 2000 t. In total, 9 stocks were exploited but the bulk of the catch (> 85 %) was provided by 4 stock units: i) pink salmon in the North Okhotsk Sea fishing subzone, ii) chum salmon in the same subzone, iii) autumn chum salmon in the Amur River, and iv) pink salmon in the Primorye fishing sub-zone. The actual catch amounted to 39.9∙10³ t, the average utilization of the allowed value was 77.1 % that can be considered as a satisfactory result.
