Kurils share in Sakhalin reg catch volume is 100,000 t of fish.
VALDIVOSTOK, November 1 (Itar-Tass) - The Kuril Islands "give"
Sakhalin fishermen over 100,000 tonnes of fish per year. The best
achievement of the fishing fleet in the area of the Kurils chain was shown
in 2009 - 139.6 thousand tonnes, specialists of the regional
administration in charge of the fishing industry told Itar-Tass on Monday.
They noted that the South Kurils' annual catch volume of over 30,000
tonnes of fish. Especially many salmon fishes come to rivers of the Iturup
Island. In 2006, Russia's largest-capacity fish plant Reidovo was launched
on it. It processes 40 tonne of fish per day.
The Sakhalin region is one of the leaders of the Russian Pacific Coast
in terms of fishing. In 2009, the island's residents caught 655,000 tonnes
of fish; 290 tonnes of them was salmon. The Sakhalin Island's catch over
the first nine moths of this year reached 409 tonnes of fish.
The Sakhalin region is spread over 59 islands. It was formed within
its present boundaries on January 2, 1947, out of the former Sakhalin
region, Khabarovsk Territory, and territories that became Russian
possessions after the victory over Japan in the Second World War. The
region includes the Sakhalin Island, the adjoining small islands, and the
Kuril Islands. It is located on the eastern shores of the Eurasian
mainland in the transition zone between the continent and the Pacific
Ocean. The seas surrounding Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands are the most
productive biological regions of the world ocean. The Sakhalin-Kuril basin
is one of Russia's largest fishing grounds, with many valuable commercial
fish species. Ninety percent of the catch consists of salmon, herring,
flounder, pollock, saury, mackerel, cod, navaga, greenling, and halibut.
Crabs, shrimp, whelks, and bivalve mollusks, such as scallops and mussels,
are harvested on the Sakhalin and Kuril shelves. Seaweeds such as
laminaria (sea kale) and ahnfeltia (a red seaweed) are also of great
commercial importance. Many species of marine mammals inhabit the seas
around Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands. They include spotted seals, ribbon
seals, Steller sea lions, fur seals, sea otters (listed in the Red Book),
and various species of whales.
