Bioeconomic assessment of commercial bioresources in the Okhotsk Sea

Total commercially important stock of all bioresources in the Okhotsk Sea is estimated as 9.034 · 106 t (fish - 8294 · 103 t, invertebrates - 605 · 103 t, macrophytes 99 · 103 t, mammals 36 · 103 t) that costs 799 billion rub. (23.5 billion USD), including 574 billion rub. (16.2 billion USD) in the...

Description
Summary:Total commercially important stock of all bioresources in the Okhotsk Sea is estimated as 9.034 · 106 t (fish - 8294 · 103 t, invertebrates - 605 · 103 t, macrophytes 99 · 103 t, mammals 36 · 103 t) that costs 799 billion rub. (23.5 billion USD), including 574 billion rub. (16.2 billion USD) in the North Okhotsk subzone, 100 billion rub. (2.7 billion USD) in the West Kamchatka subzone, 77 billion rub. (1.9 billion USD) in the East Sakhalin subzone, and 48 billion rub. (2.7 billion USD) in the Kamchatka-Kuril subzone. Mean specific value of the bioresources cost for the Okhotsk Sea is 569.6 thousand rub./km2 (16,800 USD/km2), this value is calculated by subzones, as well. The natural and economic assessments of the Okhotsk Sea bioresources could be used as data input for modeling of the fishery economics.
