On November 9, the Russian Federal Fisheries Agency issued Orders No. 703 and No. 704, allocating the 2027 total allowable catches (ОДУ) for the Volga-Caspian basin and the Azov-Black Sea basin by quota type. This is part of the agency's organization of fishing operations for 2027.
The 2027 total allowable catches for the above waters were approved by Order No. 571 of the Russian Ministry of Agriculture dated September 1, 2026. The two Fisheries Agency orders correspond respectively to the Azov-Black Sea basin (No. 704 dated November 9, 2026) and the Volga-Caspian basin (No. 703 dated November 9, 2026).
In the Caspian Sea, the allowable catch is allocated among three uses: scientific research, aquaculture, and industrial fishing. The quotas for industrial fishing are: more than 4,900 tonnes of carp, 4,300 tonnes of freshwater catfish, 5,700 tonnes of roach, and 2,900 tonnes of pike, plus quotas for pike-perch and shrimp.
In the Black Sea, the allocated allowable catch is for scientific research.
The Russian Federal Fisheries Agency also announced that it has begun accepting fishing applications for species without established total allowable catches. The relevant orders are published as attachments.
