Many private fishing companies are already building or planning to build at least 2-3 new fishing vessels each within next 10-15 years. In sum, however, the number of fishing vessels amounting to approx. 200 may decrease in Russia due to limitations in resources. Also the new generation of vessels have Table 3.
