The article considers the system of management transformation in the fisheries complex of the Russian Federation from administrative and command management in the conditions of the USSR to the present day and reveals their cardinal difference. Firstly, there are no powers of the current management structure – the Federal Agency of Rosrybolovstvo in such activities as manufacturing, transportation, storage and trade, that is, the logistics chain «production – counter» is artificially broken. Secondly, industrial relations in these areas are regulated by different departments. It is proposed in the current conditions in the management system to introduce the functions of the chief coordinator of various departments on issues of the fisheries complex and assign them to the Federal Agency Rosrybolovstvo. The creation of a comprehensive system of coordination of all interested departments, responsibility and regulation of relations to achieve final results at the federal level will not require large costs, and the positive result is obvious. The authors propose, taking into account the ongoing transformation in the Russian fisheries complex, the formation of a new organizational and managerial structure – an industrial economic ecosystem, which is a kind of complex that is characterized by self-organization, self-regulation and self-development under the influence of various external factors and the environment. The lack of necessary and reliable information can become a brake on the development of digitalization of the fisheries complex. Currently, VNIRO is dynamically developing a digital information and analytical platform. Giving the platform the status of a project office in the future will make it possible to cover the entire array of necessary information and areas of analysis under the auspices of the Federal Agency Rosrybolovstvo in a unified manner with other interested management bodies, enterprises, unions, public organizations and regional authorities. The ecosystem is well synchronized with the modern digital economy, as a result of which the interaction of companies moves to a qualitatively new level, which will allow for more concentrated achievement of local at the enterprise level or strategic goals of Russia’s economic development. Thus, the introduction of new principles in the management system aimed at the final result affects the entire federal management structure of the fisheries complex.
