Abstract
  • This is a brief review of the development of the Russian fisheries during the twentieth century from a fresh water fishery to a marine fishery and the effect of the change in economic systems upon its fisheries. Of particular interest are the similarities of change following the October revolution in 1917 and again with the resignation of Gorbachev in 1991. The shortage of money, inflation and other currency problems, an uncertain legal system and crime, and the general failure of production all seem to be characteristic of these periods of readjustment. Fisheries reflect this change and in both cases, the following catch dropped by about 70 percent in 1919 and by 60 percent in 1994 below their previous highs. This paper highlights some of the events of these two periods.
