Scientific support for the advanced development of industrial fishing: problems and their solution

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to form the directions of scientific research that ensure the advanced development of marine industrial fishing, which plays a decisive role in the sustainable functioning of the fisheries complex. The guiding document for the formation of scientific and technical development of the industry and, in particular, marine industrial fishing, is the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation «On the Strategy of Scientific and Technological Development of the Russian Federation No 642 dated December 01, 2016». The Decree notes that fundamental research in Russia does not interact well with the real sector of the economy. It says that a significant part of Russian research lags behind similar developments in developed countries. The Presidential Decree is developed by industry documents: Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation «On approval of the Strategy for the Development of the Fisheries Complex of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2030» No 2798-R of November 26, 2019 and Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No 394 of March 31, 2020 «On Amendments to the State program for the Development of the Fisheries complex». The answer to the question in which direction the scientific search for Russian fundamental science should go to overcome this lag in the field of marine fisheries can be found in the UN environmental programs (UNEP) and FAO documents. The article analyzes the priority directions of research on environmentally safe development, following from these documents, and names the research directions for fundamental science in Russia related to environmentally safe fishing.
