The Narody Severa and Bolsheretsk salmon fishery operating in the Sea of Okhotsk and Western Kamchatka, Russia has entered into full assessment in the Marine Stewardship Council’s (MSC) certification program.
Kerry Coughlin, MSC Americas regional director, says: “MSC certified salmon is in high-demand in global seafood markets and the MSC welcomes this new Russian salmon fishery into the program. If successful, this fishery will supply a significant additional volume of several species of MSC certified salmon, potentially by the 2014 season, which would be welcome news to buyers.”
