agreed and regulated prices without any dictate in the formation of plans of production and in supply of fish produce. In the period of transition to market relations, the formation of the state order for fish products for state needs must proceed from the following factors: —nonmarket sphere (the supply of military units), —supply of preschool and school institutions, hospitals, sanatariums and rest homes, —supply of centralized holders of funds, —exports, according to the national economic plans, —interdepartmental supplies of frozen and salted fish and other aquatic products to fish- processing enterprises.
