Rating of seafood products exported from Russia in 2011
In 2011 Russia's total export of seafood products both cleared at customs and shipped from beyond the Russian EEZ (not subject to delivery to the Russian customs territory for clearance) exceeded 1.8 million MT. The total value amounted to more than 3.3 billion USD, reports http://www.megafishnet.com/.
Out of the above volume 16.18% were not cleared at customs, but was registered by Russia's State Statistics Service (nearly 295,000 MT at the total value of 678.5 million USD), the remaining 83.82% were cleared at customs (more than 1.5 million MT at the total value of more than 2.6 billion USD).
As for product groups, frozen fish, fillets, dried and smoked fish, shellfish and mollusks were cleared at customs with the latter two groups practically in full volume. As for chilled fish, shipments from beyond the Russian EEZ amounted to 72.11% of the total export volume.

Note: The table has been compiled by analysts of FISHNET Ltd from data of Russia's State Statistics Service.
Export shipments from beyond the Russian EEZ were carried out mostly by fishermen of Russia's North and West Fisheries Basins. Shares of the nation's harvest delivered to the domestic market can be calculated from Table 2 which shows the nation's catches in the North Atlantic, Central Eastern Atlantic and South Pacific.
