Information about the contingent of students, the release of specialists, as well as the implementation of the results of graduation projects is given. An increase in the contingent of students in the full-time department and a decrease in the correspondence department was noted. Over the same period of studying the defense of graduation projects with excellent and good, it almost doubled. The relative number of graduation projects recommended for implementation remains. Measures have been developed to develop and improve the efficiency of work, given in the development plan of the institute for 2022-2027, which defines the main directions of development.

Based on the materials of research in 2015 and 2018, data on the spatial distribution and biological state of crabs in one of the new fishing areas for the Russian Federation are presented - subregion 61.52 Central part of the Sea of Okhotsk. In the area studied, the following commercial crab species were recorded in crab trap catches: Lithodes aequispinus, L. couesi, Paralomis multispina, P. verrilli, Chionoecetes opilio and Ch. angulatus. A single capture of 2 individuals of the sharp-winged crab Oregonia bifurca, which had not previously been encountered in the Sea of Okhotsk, was noted. The main clusters of commercial species of crabs were confined to the northern site at depths of 300-500 m. Of the entire variety of species, only the equidistant crab forms dense aggregations, the stocks of which have been exploited by industry since 2017. Chionoecetes opilio and Ch. angulatus stocks in the area of «polygon» can also recruit the resource base of commercial fishing.

The article presents a review of published materials and results of specialized ecological and fishery research for the period 1950-2021, containing data on abundance and biomass of the main groups of hydrobionts (phytoplankton, zooplankton, zoobenthos), larvae and young fish in different shelf areas of northern and northeastern Sakhalin Island. Regularities of distribution of different plankton groups by shelf areas and by different water, horizons are considered. Quantitative indicators of systematic groups of hydrobionts and juvenile fish of different shelf areas are compared. The work summarizes the materials on the Zapadno-Shmidtovsky and Deryuginsky license areas, Yuzhno-Kirinsky hydrocarbon field and others.

According to the data of accounting trawl surveys conducted by TINRO in the period from the 1980s to 2018, changes in the spatial and bathymetric distribution of black halibut on the continental slope of the Sea of Okhotsk over the past decades have been considered. The sea ice cover had decreased in this period that caused a weakening of the slope convection, whereas this process ventilated the intermediate layer, so a deoxygenation occurred at the depths below 300-400 m where the halibut dwell. Upon the «cold» times with strong slope convection and high content of dissolved oxygen in the intermediate layer, dense pre-spawning and spawning aggregations of halibut were formed in the southern part of the Lebed Trough at the depth of 900-1000 m. These aggregations are not observed in the recent «warm» years, but the halibut are distributed widely along the continental slope of Kamchatka in aggregations with moderate or low density.

Information about the history of fishing for Baltic herring (herring) Clupea harengus membras L. is given. in the eastern part of the Gulf of Finland in the period from 1991 to 2022, and the features of its fishing in the last period. A brief analysis of the reasons for the change in catch volumes in the long-term aspect is given. Seasonal dynamics of catches and fishing areas in 2020-2022 are reflected.

The analysis of reference and analytical information on the results of work on the artificial cultivation of juvenile roach in the NVH in mono and polyculture; the results of observations from the early 70s to the 2000s on the quantitative and qualitative composition of juveniles of semi-migratory fish species obtained from the self-entry of producers in the NVH during the cultivation of profile species (bream, carp), the influence of the dependence of the NVH, watered by gravity, on the hydrological regime of the Volga River during flood waters and reclamation works. It is determined that in order to increase the survival rate of juvenile roach during artificial reproduction in the NVH, research will be required, including experimental work to determine fish-breeding and biological indicators, the development of methods and standards for this species, taking into account the current state of the population.

The long–toed crayfish Pontastacus leptodactylus (Eschscholtz, 1823) is the only object of freshwater commercial invertebrates living in the lake. Bridge of the Altai Territory. This paper presents the dynamics of crayfish production (catch) by organized fishing in the period 2010-2022. A review of changes in the state of the cancer population in terms of size, mass and sexual structure was carried out. The characteristic of the reasons for the change in the fishing stock and the assessment of its current state are also given.

The purpose of this work is to analyze some age, size, and demographic parameters of the Arctic char in the Pyasinsky Bay of the Kara Sea. In the control catches, fish aged from 2 to 10 years were noted, females aged 5-7 years and males aged 4-7 years predominated. The commercial length of individuals in catches was 300- 820 mm, weight - 320-8100 g. The sex ratio was approximately 60:40 in favor of females. At the age of 5 years, sexually mature individuals were noted, the maturation period was extended to 7-8 years. In Pyasinsky Bay, arctic char is an obligate predator. The diet included polar cod (Boreogadus saida), four-horned slingshot (Myoxocephalus quadricornis), smelt (Osmerus mordax dentex) and whitefish (genus Coregonus), represented mainly by vendace. Occasionally met muksun, and omul. Polar cod formed the basis of feeding – more than 69% of the frequency of occurrence. The introduction of Arctic char into aquaculture is promising for the Krasnoyarsk Territory.

The article considers the features of the intrastructure of the populations of the Siberian river muksun from its habitat. The question of the conspecificity of this species, the issues of divergent evolution of mono and polyhybridization are analyzed. Based on the analysis of literature and experimental data, the facts of natural hybridization between whitefish, both with lower and upper mouths, are shown.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the innovative development of transport and logistics activities of fishing companies, which is especially important in connection with the introduction of sanctions. The article focuses on the extraction and transportation of live crab over long distances due to the reorientation of cargo flows. The introduction of advanced technologies for the transportation of live crab by LLC "Antey-Sever" is being considered.

The intensive development of fish processing factories built on the southern Kuril Islands stimulated the use of fishing vessels with RSW (Refrigerated Sea Water) storage tanks to deliver catches to coastal factories. At the moment, 8 fishing RSW-trawlers are operating in the southern Kuriles area. The capacity of RSW tanks on them varies from 500 to 2200 tons with a total one-time storage volume of 8 thousand tons. The main object of the fishery is walleye pollock. The walleye pollock catch by RSW-trawlers in 2022 reached 112 thousand tons. The main pollock harvesting area is the waters of the southern Kuril Islands, where about 70% of the total allowable catch (TAC) of this species is caught by RSW-trawlers. Compared to traditional trawlers-processor, RSW-trawlers fishering is more rational and “transparent” in relation to resources, because it exclude the possibility of discarding juveniles and substandard fish. It is assumed that the trend towards the use of RSW-trawlers in the Far East fishery basin will increase.

The results of the development of hydroacoustic devices for the direction and retention of fish during their fishing and scaring of pinnipeds from fishing gear are presented. The devices allow generating underwater sounds that simulating the biological signals of predatory cetaceans. The characteristics of the sounds emitted and the methods of their application to increase the efficiency of fishing is shown. The results of experimental studies of the assessment of fish and pinnipeds reaction to the signals of hydroacoustic emitters - imitators of killer whales sounds are overviewed.

The analysis of changes in the linear characteristics of ropes made of polyamide, polypropylene and polyethylene, which were divided into three groups, was carried out. Each group included the above ropes. With these groups, storage technology was simulated for two years under various conditions after exposure to a single load, approximately equal to half of the breaking load of each type of rope.

Modeling of a trawl system for lateral trawling of surface accumulations of aquatic organisms (Ivasi sardine, mackerel) designed for medium-tonnage and small-tonnage vessels is presented. Such a system eliminates the influence of the wake of the vessel and does not break the school, which often does not converge and significantly reduces catches. The technique makes it possible to calculate the lengths of the warps for the symmetry of the trawl and to determine the distance between the vessel and the school.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of the components that make up fish preserves on the total microbial load, as well as the effectiveness of processing preserves with ionizing radiation to reduce the number of microorganisms that seed the product to a safe level and for increase its shelf life. The object of the study was fish preserves, as the most vulnerable products for seeding and development of harmful microorganisms, The samples were exposed to accelerated electrons with a dose equivalent to 4 kGy to reduce the microbial load. It has been confirmed that each of the components of the ready-to-eat product can be as a source of contamination of the finished product. The contribution of each of the components to the total contamination of preserves, changes in the number of microflora depending on the recipe, shelf life and the presence of preservatives have been studied. It has been established that under the action of ionizing radiation, the number of microflora in fish preserves is significantly reduced, thereby increasing the shelf life of the product. It has been experimentally shown that, despite the insignificant content of spices, they make a significant contribution to the overall contamination of the finished product due to bacterial spores developing under favorable conditions, reducing the shelf life of preserves. There is a synergistic effect of the combined action of ionizing radiation and the preservative sodium benzoate on microorganisms.
