Issues of fisheries as means of securing the necessities of life of native small ethnic communities in the Amur river basin

Abstract

This report presents individual considerations on the issues of implementing fishing in order to ensure the traditional way of life and implementation of traditional economic activities of the indigenous peoples of the North, Siberia and the Far East of the Russian Federation (traditional fishing of the indigenous peoples of the North) in the Amur basin. The procedure for establishing the volumes of production (catch) of freshwater fish and Pacific salmon for traditional fishing in the Amur River basin is considered. Some problems associated with the implementation of this type of fishing are discussed. An opinion is expressed on the need for additional regulation of this type of fishing, in particular, establishing liability for failure to submit reports on the catch. A proposal is made to develop a procedure for providing simplified access for fishing to persons who are not related to the indigenous peoples of the North, but traditionally living along the banks of the Amur.
