Assessment of recreation fishing in Peter the Great Bay in the winter-spring period of 2024

The qualitative and quantitative composition of fish catches during amateur fishing in Peter the Great Bay in the winter-spring period of 2024 – from January 1 to April 30 is considered. There are 2 fishing seasons: the closed-water fishing season, when there was ice in part of the coastal areas of Peter the Great Bay, and the open-water fishing season – from March 15 to April 30. The number of places for amateur fishing has been determined. The number of fishermen is calculated within sight (on ice – on an area of 300 m 2 and in open water – on an area of one nautical mile). The total catch of each species by amateur fishermen has been determined. Based on the data of amateur fishing, an attempt was made to assess the abundance of fish in the covered water area.
