Russia’s Far Eastern A season pollock catch has shown softer numbers compared to the strong performance in 2025, according to industry reports. Despite the year-on-year decline, the current catch remains above the five-year average, indicating relatively healthy stock levels. The pollock fishery is a critical component of Russia’s seafood industry, with Far Eastern waters representing one of the world’s most important grounds for this whitefish species. Season A typically covers the early part of the fishing year. The mixed results reflect natural fluctuations in fish availability and may influence global supply chains for pollock products, including fillets and surimi. Market participants will be monitoring subsequent seasons to assess overall annual production prospects.
