throughout the world is IS milliard of American dollars less than the annual expenditures on the exploitation of the fishing fleet. Therefore, every year the leading fishing countries seek the possibility of compensating for these expenditures. The consequence of this support is a constant increase in the catch throughout the world. Table 7. Increase in the Catch Throughout the World (as a whole and per capita) Year Total catch world, mln.t in the Population, milliard Per capita, catch, kg 1800 1.2 0.80 1.50 1850 2.0 1.00 2.00 1900 7.0 1.66 4.21 1913 9.5 1.72 5.50 1920 9.1 1.81 5.03 1930 10.0 2.11 4.74 1940 17.1 2.21 7.75 1950 21.1 2.50 8.44 1960 40.0 2.91 13.75 1970 67.2 3.64 18.46 1980 75.7 4.22 17.94 1985 88.6 4.82 18.33 1990 92.6 5.26 17.60 2000 113.5 6.27 18.00 As a rule, this is attained at the expense of getting an additional profit in retail trade, concessional taxation and budgetary subsidies given direcdy to fishermen. In Russia, the currency support of our fleet working abroad requires 500-700 million dollars annually. The termination of this support makes the fleet to curtail their work in an open sea and in the economic zones of foreign states and to sell abroad a considerable part of the catch in order to compensate for the expenses. At the same time, the newly-formed market structures hurry to accumulate capital at the expense of the uncontrolled export of the most valuable kinds of fish. In 1992, the approximate volume of such an “export” of fish and sea products was 1.8 million tons. The uncontrolled fishing by a number of states in the economic zone of Russia will cause a decrease in our supplies by 1.5 million tons in 1993. The struggle of territories, regions and districts for the right to dispose of bioresources entails the extermination of the supplies of sturgeon, salmon, inconnus and many other valuable kinds of fish. 1 5 6
