Abstract
State of stocks and fishery and some general features of biology are considered for saffron cod in the Bering Sea on results of bottom trawl surveys and commercial fishery statistics in 2000–2023. In 2023, the stock in the southwestern part of the sea is estimated in 114 . 103 t, in the northwestern part — in 20 . 103 t, and at the coast of Chukotka Peninsula — in 0.14 . 103 t. The average annual catch of saffron cod in the southwestern and northwestern parts of Bering Sea is amounted in 8.5 . 103 t and 1.1 . 103 t, respectively. The saffron cod fishery at Chukotka is absent.
