Factors of the Current Sustainable Development of the Fisheries Complex in the Kamchatka Krai

Based on a comprehensive analysis of statistical data, we investigate the state of fisheries in the Kamchatka Krai, the dynamics of catching and exporting the aquatic biological resources, and the existing production structure. We indicated the problems in the development of the fishing industry (aging of the fleet, the spread of poaching, the disposal of "non-target" fishing objects, low processing of export products, etc.). Moreover, we studied the functional specificity of the fishing industry. The paper identifies and analyzes the main factors of sustainable development in the fishing industry. It also reveals the organizational and economic mechanism of regulation and stimulation of the fishing industry. We analyzed the activities of federal and regional authorities in the context of fishery development in the Kamchatka Krai. We studied the technical base of fishing enterprises. The study reveals the mechanisms of renewal and modernization of the fishing fleet. It also analyzes the main innovational directions in fisheries. We conducted a quantitative analysis of staffing in the fishing industry. Based on the performed analysis, we made conclusions on several positive trends in the Kamchatka Krai fishing industry. The paper summarizes the approaches to the formation of factors of sustainable development in the Russian fishery complex. We outlined the requirements for further fishery development in the Kamchatka Krai.
