Abstract
Based on the materials collected in May-July 2025, the main biological indicators of the yellowfin sole (Limanda aspera) in the coastal waters of the northern and northwestern parts of the North Okhotsk Sea subzone are considered. A brief description of the size-weight indicators and sex ratio is provided. The data on the intensity of flounder fishing by amateur fishing gear in this water area is presented.
