The Fishery Shipowners Association (FSA) in Russia has appointed Alexander Moiseev, who has held various positions in government agencies and state-owned companies in the fishing sector, as its new president.
The new president of the FSA will face the challenge of dealing with emerging tasks related to monitoring and promoting changes in the regulatory mechanisms affecting the fishing industry.
His predecessor, Alexey Osintsev, will now focus on the regulation of fishing operations and navigation, veterinary legislation, international fishing certification, increasing domestic consumption of fish products, as well as the operational activities of the association.
In November, Norway and Russia reached a crucial fisheries agreement for 2025 through digital negotiations, focusing on sustainable management of fish stocks in the Barents Sea.
The two countries agreed that in 2025, the total quota for North-East Arctic cod will be 340,000 tonnes, marking a 25% reduction from this year's allowance. Norway will hold 163,436 tonnes of this quota.
The Fishery Shipowners Association (FSA) was created in 2016 to represent and protect the interests of the Association members, as well as to comprehensively promote the renewal of the fishing and cargo fleet in the Russian Federation, improvement of the efficiency and quality of aquatic biological resources processing on fishing fleet vessels.
FSA consolidates 37 companies of sea fishing, which account for about 28% of all Russian catches.
