This review describes the pattern and level of landings during the period 1971 through 1977 in the eight Eastern Bloc countries. It is hoped that the kriowledqP of landings in the past will orove useful in identifying potential opportunities for the Canadian · fishing industry.

The U.S.S.R. is the second most important harvester (after Japan) of fish and shellfish in the world. Besides, the U.S.S.R., some seven countries are covered in this Review. Among these Bulgaria, East Germany, Poland and Romania are the more important harvesters. The landings of marine fish in Albania are extremely small while the catch in Czechoslovakia and Hungary consists entirely of . For this reason, the 11 Review 11 focusses on catches in the five major harvesting countries in the Eastern Bloc.

As there is a wide range of species of fish and shellfish, it was felt that in to provide a more complete supply picture, given the possibility of substitution, the species with landings of 1,000 metric tons or over in any given year during the period under review (1971-77) must be included. However, the selected species in the U.S.S.R. represent landings of 5,000 metric tons or over. This adjustment was necessary due on.rtly to the very larqe nuP.lber of species which are harvested by the U.S.S.R. and in part to its huge landings. The tables in the appendix provide more detailed information on catches for mn.jor selected species. - 2 -

EASTERN BLOC

In 1977, the total nominal fisheries catch by the Eastern Bloc countries amounted to 10.6 million metric tons compared to 7.9 million metric tons in 1971. However, aggregate landings in 1977 were lower by 8

percent compared with 1976 when s~ · landings amounted to 11.5 million metric tons. Most of the reduction was caused by a decline in the Russian catch during 1977 .

Among the countries of the Eastern Bloc, the U.S.S.R. is by far the most important harvester of fish. In 1977, despite a substantial reduction in its catch, the U.S.S.R. accounted for 88 percent of the Bloc's total nominal . .. eaten ~ Poland .occupied second place'. Its snare in the .Bloc's total nominal

catch ~as 6 percent. Germany was in third place accounting for about 2 percent of the nominal catch. Bulgarian and Romanian share in the total nominal catch was over 1 percent each. Tne other three countries Albania, Czechoslavakia and Hungary combined accounted for about one half of one percent of Eastern Bloc's total nominal catch.

During 1977, the catch of selected species (landings of 5,000 m.t. for the U.S.S.R. and landings of 1,000 m.t. for other countries) in the Eastern Bloc totalled 9.9 million metric tons compared with 7.9 million metric tons in 1971. However, the catch of selected species declined by 1.2 million tons between 1976 and 1977, mainly reflecting reduced landings in the U.S.S.R. In 1977, the selected species accounted for over 93 percent of the total nominal catch as against 94 percent in 1971 and nearly 97 percent in 1976.

Among the Eastern Bloc countries, Romania was the only country to register a small increase which amounted to about 20,000 metric tons during 1977. The catch in Czechoslovakia and Hungary consisted mostly of and .

The catch in the "tWo afore-mentioned countries is relatively small to have any effect on the aggregate catch of the Eastern Bloc.

ALBA~IA

Albania's total nominal catch, which consists of marine , is estimated at 4,000 metric tons for each year during the period under review .. However, data are .not ava,ilable on individual srecies. - 4 -

BULGARIA

Bulgaria's catch of the selected species in 1977 amounted to over 128,000 metric tons, 93 percent of its total nominal catch. Cape horse , European pilchard, cape hake, jack & horse .mackere1s - and sprat were the five most important species. The combined catch of these five species was 98,000 metric tons, nearly 71 percent of the total nominal catch. Common , , , and short-finned were the other important species. The combined landings of these species amounted to over 25,000 metric tons or 18 perceht of the total nominal catch. In surrmary these ten species accounted for about 90 percent of the Bulgarian catch.

CZECHOSLOVAKIA

Czechoslovakia's catch consists of freshwater fish. In 1977, its total nominal catch amounted to 18,200 metric tons compared with 15,200 metric tons in 1971. The landings of cormion carp alone amounted to nearly 15,000 metric tons during 1977. The remainder were and other freshwater fish.

GERMAN DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC

In 1977, Germany's landings of selected species were over 202,000 metric tons, 96 percent of its total nominal catch. The five most important species were Atlantic , Atlantic redffsh, Atlantic , sprat and European pilchard. The combined catch of these five species amounted to over 13l~OOO m~tric tons, 6~ p~rcent ' 6f the total nominal catch. - 5 -

The catch of jack~ horse mackerP.ls, Greenland , pollack, and Atlantic mackerel totalled over 50,000 metric tons, 24 percent of the total nominal catch. In all, these ten species accounted for 87 percent of the total nominal catch.

HUNGARY

In 1977, Hungary's catch of freshwater fish amounted to nearly 35,000 metric tons as against 29,000 metric tons during 1971. The breakdown by species is not available.

POLAND Among the Eastern Bloc countries, Poland is the second most important harvester of fisheries. In 1977 its catch of selected species amounted to over 643,000 metric tons, 97 percent of the total nominal catch. Its catch of the five most imrortant species, European pilchard, , , and sprat amounted to 371 ,000 metric tons, 56 percent of the total nominal catch. Sardinellas, cape hake, North vPacific hake, Atlantic mackerel and common carp were some of the other more important species. The combined landings of these species totalled over 133,000 metric tons, 20 percent of the total nominal catch. The aggregate landings of pollack, jack & horse , silver scabbardfish, South African pilchard and Antarctic cod were in excess of 55,000 metric tons, over 8 percent of the total nominal catch. The 15 species combined accounted for nearly 85 percent of Poland's total nominal catch in 1977. - 6 -

ROMANIA

Romania's catch of selected species amounted to nearly 144,000 metric tons, 95 percent of its total nominal catch. The combined landings of jack & horse mackerels, various freshwater fish , European pilchard, common carp and chub mackerel amounted to about 125,000 metric tons, 83 percent of its total nominal catch. Capelin, European , cape hake and shad were some other important species with landings of about 2,500 metric tons each.

U.S.S.R.

The Russian catch of selected species amounted to 8.8 million metri c tons, 94 percent of its total nominal catch. Alaska , capelin, ­ llas, cape horse mackerel and Atlantic cod were the five most important species. The combined landings of these species totalled nearly 4.4 million tons, 47 percent of the total nominal catch. Jack & horse mackerels, . chub mackerel, clupeonella, and cape hake were some of other important species. The aggregate landings of these five species were in excess of 1.6 million metric tons, 17 percent of the total nominal catch. The combined catch of , Atlantic redfish, Antarctic icefish, Atlantic herring and sprat amounted to 780,000 metric tons, over 8 percent of the total nominal catch. The aggregate harvest of pink , North Pacific hake, Antarctic cod, silver hake and blue whiting totalled 464,000 metric tons, 5 percent of the total nominal catch. In summary, these 2n species accounted for nearly 80 percent 9f the Russian total nominal catch. - 7 -

CONCLUSION

During 1977, the aggregate nominal catch of the eight Eastern

Bloc countr ~ es was reduced by almost one million metric tons compared with 1976. A very large proportion of this decline resulted from the lower landings experienced by the major harvesters in the Eastern Bloc, especially the U.S.S.R. Romania was the only country that showed a small improvement in its landings. The entire decline in Eastern Bloc's landings can be attributed to reduced landings of the more desireable species such as cod, , halibut, pollack, redfish, , herring and mackerel. Reduced landings of mackerel alone accounted for about one half of the decline in Eastern Bloc's total nominal catch.
