Recent Developments in the Russian Fisheries Sector
From: Russia and the North
$2.40
Russian fisheries sector has earned a reputation as being inefficient, criminalized and unreformable. Official yearly catches are down to a third of the amounts produced towards the end of the Soviet period, the fishing fleet is in poor condition and the land industry is withering away. Fundamental disagreements among decision makers on how the sector should be managed have frustrated all attempts to create a stable legal and institutional framework for the fisheries, despite a general consensus on the fact that stability and predictability are crucial factors if the current stagnation is to be overcome.
