The article discusses the essence and stages of the formation of a new field of knowledge – the economy of the World Ocean. The importance of sustainable approaches to the economic development of the marine industry is shown. The authors performed an analysis of the bioeconomical essence of industrial entrepreneurship. The dynamics of the components of the bioeconomical analysis is substantiated. The interrelation and mutual influence of these components is revealed. In bioeconomical assessments, significant databases containing diverse and high-quality indicators related to the need to choose an alternative based on methods related to different fields of knowledge are involved in the analysis. The authors of the article believe that in situations involving a large number of variables, modeling and mathematical programming techniques are the most effective means for making managerial decisions. These methods are justified in the article.

The purpose of this article is to analyze the consequences of uncritical transfer of foreign experience of auction trading in quotas of aquatic biological resources (ABR) into the practice of industrial fisheries management in Russia.The scientific analysis is based on the method of analogies, with the help of which the criteria of foreign experience used in the regulation of industrial fishing become similar in their characteristics to the criteria used in Russia.Scientific novelty is represented by proposals for the formation of the Russian state policy in the system of distribution of individual quotas for the right to catch ABR.The practical significance of the analysis is to create the possibility of avoiding in Russia the mistakes made during the transfer to private ownership of quotas of the ABR abroad, which led to an increase in shadow turn-over and illegal transactions in fisheries, an increase in subsidies with a decrease in the economic efficiency of fishing, an increase in conflicts among fishermen, an increase in distrust of the fishing community to the actions of the government, the concentration of income and political influence in the hands of a minority, the dispersion of fishing rents, the destruction of the way of life of coastal fishing communities, accelerating the rate of degradation of marine ecosystems and increasing the cost of maintaining bureaucracy.In conclusion, conclusions are drawn about what mistakes should be avoided in Russia when introducing the practice of regulating fishing on the basis of individual fish quotas made in this process abroad.

The concept of bioeconomics was introduced into the practice of marine use by the UN Conference on Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro (1992). Since that moment, bioeconomics has been considered as an important direction of the concept of sustainable development. As evidenced by foreign practice, bioeconomics has been developing in the last decade within the framework of the "blue" economy concept. The purpose of this article is to show the importance of bioeconomics in the process of increasing the sustainability of industrial fishing from a historical perspective and to discuss the accumulated scientific baggage on the problem under consideration, which allows us to move to the advanced development of industrial fishing.
