The aim of the work is to analyze walleye pollock as an object of Russian and world fishery.Result: The dynamics of the walleye pollock fishery development in the historical aspect is considered against the background of the world fish catch and in the context of different countries from 1950 to the present days. Proposals are given to increase resource conservation in the walleye pollock fishery.Novelty: the latest up-to-date data on walleye pollock fishing statistics in Russia and in the world is presented, ways to improve the accuracy of accounting for caught aquatic biological resources are proposed.Practical significance: recommendations for improving catch accounting in the Russian Federation based on the experience of the USSR and other countries are listed.Methods used: data on catch statistics are given using the FishStatJ software for fishery statistical time series, a review of foreign and domestic published works and the results of our own research are given. During the research, modern instrumental methods were used.

Purpose: to analyze the program development of the Russian fisheries complex in retrospect; to consider the targets, stages, main tasks and the main distinctive principles of the principles of development in the new economy.Method: analytical, logical, comparison, statistical methods were used. Information sources included statistical and informational data of the Government of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Agriculture, Federal Agency for fisheries, Federal State Statistics Service, etc.Results: the article summarizes the individual results of the activities of the fisheries complex in the process   of implementing the «Strategy for the development of the fisheries complex until 2020», which shows the dynamics of the volume of catch of aquatic biological resources, the release of food fish products, the renewal of fixed assets in accordance with the task of strategic innovation and actual development of the fisheries complex. The peculiarity of the development of the fisheries complex is emphasized in the conditions of the «Strategy for the development of the fisheries complex for the period up to 2030», «Strategy for the development of agro-industrial and fisheries complexes of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2030», as well as the state program «Development of the fisheries complex».Practical significance: in order to improve the efficiency of management of the development of the Russian fisheries complex, it seems appropriate to establish indicators that can be used in the formation of indicators of the activities of enterprises of the fisheries complex, and calculations of the parameters of strategic development should take into account actual statistical indicators that allow analyzing the interdependence of macroeconomic results of the projected work depending on changes in various external and internal factors.

The use of Russian and foreign classifiers of products (goods, works, services) is a key moment in ordering objects in the system of state statistics and regulation of foreign economic activity, in the field of technical regulation and taxation. The article considers the need to update the all-Russian classifier of products by type of economic activity in terms of fish products, which contributes to filling other forms of state reporting with an expanded list of types of aquatic biological resources, which makes it possible to track the movement of fish products by type in the domestic market when moving from fishing areas to the central regions and control over the full chain of use of raw materials from catch to consumption.
