New production technologies offer real potential for the industry, Russia has targeted a dramatic increase in its fish farming output over the next decade, with authorities believing this ambition will be best realised through localised aquafeed and broodstock production and by encouraging producers to switch to recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS). The country's aquaculture production has doubled over the course of the past decade, according to estimates from the Russian federal agency for fisheries, Rosrybolovstvo. Its most recent analysis finds that in 2020, Russia's farmers produced 329,000 tonnes of fish, up 14 compared with the previous year. In 2021, this figure was projected to grow by another 15, and by 2030, Russian aquaculture production is expected to reach a totaL 620,000 tonnes, the agency has forecast.
