Russian pollock MSC certification resistance 'driven by market competition'
The resistance Russia's Sea of Okhotsk pollock fishery met in getting MSC-certified is more due to market competition than genuine biological concerns, said Vladimir Belyaev from the Russian embassy in Denmark.
Belyaev expressed his opinion to IntraFish during a meeting of the Baltic Sea Regional Advisory Council in the Aalborg Congress & Culture Center where Danfish is being held.
"We are collecting data on accidents among industrial fishermen in the Baltic Sea right now," said Dr Leonid Meyler from the Baltic Fishing Fleet State Academy in Kaliningrad, Russia.
