Vaskov, A.A.
A review of domestic and international redfish fishery on the bank Flemish Cap in the period from 1956 to 2006 is represented. Data on the bottom trawl surveys on the estimation of the state of these important objects of international fishery in NEAFC regulatory area are cited. The results of ES survey in 2005 confirmed a further growth in the stock indexes of redfish on the bank Flemish Cap, which denotes a gradual restoration of the stock. It should be noted that the increase in biomass indexes is observed in three redfish species. Historically from 1956 to 1991 a total catch of redfishes on the Flemish Cap was formed by the catch of these species made by the Russian Fleet. Last years the domestic fleet has been conducting the redfish fishery on the bank Flemish Cap occasionally, which in future may lead to the loss in a part of quota on these important fishery objects. Urgency of fishery on the bank Flemish Cap is also determined by a necessity in rational and profitable domestic fishery in the open areas of Atlantic and arrival of Russian priority in realizing of this area
