Commercial stocks and fisheries for invertebrates in the upper sublitoral of the Murman Coast

This paper provides data concerning the stocks of green sea urchin, blue mussel and Icelandic scallop. The data was obtained from comprehensive diving surveys in the early 2000s. The paper analyses the catches of invertebrates that were taken in commercial and recreational dive fisheries for the period from 2017 to 2023. This paper states that, for sustainable management and exploitation of these commercially valuable invertebrates in the future, it is obviously required to conduct a comprehensive survey for their stocks in the sublittoral zone of Murman. The future results from this survey are intended to serve as a basis for standards (quotas) that should be established for the fisheries for these species in local areas.
