This year, the catch amounted to 309.6 thousand tons of fish, including 55.5 thousand tons of haddock, 155.5 thousand tons of cod.

In total, production in Russia for the whole year is 4.5 million tons of fish, which is 200 thousand tons less than a year earlier.

On average, every inhabitant of the Kola Arctic eats more than 23 kg of fish per year. This is the highest rate in the North-Western Federal District. However, this is less than the recommended value.

The results of Putin's 2025 were summed up at a meeting of the Far Eastern Basin Scientific and Commercial Council. For Russia, which ranks first in the world in this indicator, the actual figures were higher than the initial forecasts.
