Abstract
The study examines the key strategic regulatory and legal acts of the Russian Federation defining priority areas for the development of the country’s fisheries complex. It establishes that Russia’s fishing industry is continuing its systematic efforts to ensure food security for the country, as well as expanding strategic cooperation within the Union State, the Eurasian Economic Union, the Commonwealth of Independent States, BRICS, and other associations on food security issues. An analysis of aquatic bioresource development in the Northern Fisheries Basin is provided. The role of fisheries science and commercial aquaculture production, including in the country’s Arctic regions, is highlighted. A number of priority tasks have been developed to effectively address issues that can guarantee social, economic, and environmental sustainability in the Arctic fishing industry.
