Executive summary Randy Ericksen and Jocelyn Drugan of the Wild Salmon Center conducted this assessment with the assistance of Denis Semenov of World Wildlife Fund, Russia. This was a desktop assessment conducted using information requested from the clients. The clients compiled information they had available and requested information from KamchatNIRO as appropriate. The clients were responsible for translating information into English. Some, but not all, information requested was provided. Additional information was obtained from the North Pacific Anadromous Fish Commission (NPAFC) website. The client fisheries occur in the western part of Kamchatka Peninsula on the Sea of Okhotsk coast (coastal trap nets) and the lower reaches (beach seines) of six large coastal rivers, the Ozernaya, Koshegochek, Golgina, Opala, Kol and Vorovskaya. The pre-assessment covers wild pink, chum, and coho salmon returning to all of these rivers, as well as sockeye salmon (excluding Ozernaya River sockeye salmon which are currently certified by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC)). This is not considered an enhanced fishery because there are no hatcheries in the certification unit. The fishery targets pink salmon during even-years and other species (primarily chum and coho salmon) during odd-years when pink salmon are less abundant. Information provided indicates that annual runs of these species have been stable or increasing in recent years. Sockeye and odd-year pink salmon are not targeted in these fisheries but are caught incidentally. Aggregate escapement targets for the entire Western Kamchatka Region have been developed for even-year pink salmon and coho salmon. There are also sockeye salmon escapement targets for individual lake-systems in the certification unit. KamchatNIRO stated that optimal production of chum salmon is achieved with a minimum aggregate escapement of 800,000 fish, but it was not clear if this was an official management target or a general guideline. The clients did not provide escapement data sufficient for assessing management performance relative to escapement targets. Escapement data available from NPAFC suggests that even-year pink salmon escapements have been fluctuating around their escapement targets, but escapements of coho and chum salmon have been below their targets. Available escapement data for sockeye salmon was insufficient to assess management performance in the certification unit. Based on the information provided, even-year pink salmon could likely achieve MSC certification with conditions as long as data is provided verifying that escapements are generally meeting escapement targets. However, the likelihood of certification is somewhat uncertain due to the large number of “yellow” scores for the Principle 2 and 3 indicators that could result in Principle scores less than 80. It is unlikely that the other species would achieve MSC certification based on the information provided for this pre-assessment. Information available from NPAFC suggests that Western Kamchatka chum and coho salmon are not meeting escapement targets. The data provided was insufficient for determining whether odd-year pink salmon and sockeye salmon are meeting escapement targets. Information is needed from KamchatNIRO to justify the escapement targets and demonstrate that stocks are generally meeting the targets. 2. Introduction 2.1 Aims/scope of pre-assessment This report provides a pre-assessment of salmon fisheries according to standards of Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) for the clients “Vityaz-Avto Co” Ltd and “Delta Co” Ltd. The client companies fish for the following Pacific salmon species: pink salmon (Oncorhynchus Western Kamchatka Pre-Assessment Report page 2 gorbuscha), chum salmon (O. keta), sockeye salmon (O. nerka), and coho salmon (O. kisutch). This pre-assessment includes pink, chum, and coho salmon caught in the Vorovskaya, Kol, Opala, and Ozernaya rivers, as well as sockeye salmon for the Vorovskaya, Kol, and Opala rivers. Ozernaya River sockeye salmon have already been MSC certified under a separate assessment. This report only provides recommendations; full certification will be conducted completely independently of pre-assessment results. A pre- assessment of a fishery does not attempt to duplicate a full assessment against the MSC standard. A full assessment involves expert team members and public consultation stages

    CHAPTER 6 OBSIDIAN PROVENANCE STUDIES ON KAMCHATKA PENINSULA (FAR EASTERN RUSSIA): 2003–9 RESULTS Andrei V. Grebennikov, Vladimir K. Popov, Michael D. Glascock, Robert J. Speakman, Yaroslav V. Kuzmin, and Andrei V. Ptashinsky Abstract: The results of obsidian provenance research on the Kamchatka Peninsula based on extensive study of the chemical composition of volcanic glasses from both ‘geological’ sources and archaeological sites are presented. At least 16 geochemical groups reflecting different sources of obsidian have been identified for Kamchatka using Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis. Seven sources of archaeological obsidian have been linked to specific geologic outcrops, with the distances between sites and obsidian sources up to 550km. At least seven geochemical groups based only on artefact analysis are also described. The use of multiple obsidian sources was a common pattern during the Palaeolithic, Neolithic, and Palaeometal periods of Kamchatkan prehistory.

  • Case Study of Kamchatka Peninsula Rivers)
    Geophysical Research Abstracts Vol. 12, EGU2010-15653, 2010 EGU General Assembly 2010 © Author(s) 2010 Human activities impact on mountain river channels (case study of Kamchatka peninsula rivers) Aleksandra S. Ermakova Lomonosov Moscow State University, Faculty of Geography, Moscow, Russia ([email protected]) Human-induced driving factors along with natural environmental changes greatly impact on fluvial regime of rivers. On mountain and semi-mountain territories these processes are developed in the most complicated manner due to man-made activities diversity throughout river basins. Besides these processes are significantly enhanced because of the disastrous natural processes (like volcanic and mud-flow activity) frequent occurrences in mountainous regions. On of the most striking example on the matter is Kamchatka peninsula which is located at the North-West part of Russian Federation. This paper contributes to the study of human activities impact on fluvial systems in this volcanic mountain region. Human effects on rivers directly alter channel morphology and deformations, dynamics of water and sediment movement, aquatic communities or indirectly affect streams by altering the movement of water and sediment into the channel. In case study of Kamchatka peninsula human activities affect fluvial systems through engineering works including construction of bridges, dams and channel diversions and placer mining. These processes are characterized by spatial heterogeneity because of irregular population distribution. Due to specific natural conditions of the peninsula the most populated areas are the valleys of big rivers (rivers Kamchatka, Avacha, Bistraya (Bolshaya), etc) within piedmont and plain regions. These rivers are characterized by very unstable channels. Both with man-made activities this determines wide range of fluvial system changes.

The multitude of animals inhabiting these seas is extremely varied. Of fish alone there are up to 800 species, among which some 200 are or can be regarded as exploitable species. Up to the present time the salmon and herring have. been of prevalent industrial importance in the Far East. The immense reserves of these fish, relative simplicity and high effectiveness of the fishing methods employed during the spawning period, simplicity of processing in- volved, excellence of quality of the finished product, all these factors appealed to industrial fishing, fish-proces- sing and fish-marketing organizations. As a result, the entire fishing industry of the Far East was until recen- tly, a passive industry --90% of the catch was obtained by means of stationary fishing implements or fishing cordage cast from the shore (such as seines and casting nets, etc.).

  • WWF-Russia Kamchatka Office Semi-Annual Review. January 2018
    WWF strongly supported the increase in fines for illegal fishing initiated by the Ministry of Agriculture. Public discussion concerning the Russian government’s draft decree ended on October 9th. The decree would set fines up to 20 times higher than current levels for some species. While we do not consider these measures to be an absolute remedy, the fine amounts will be significant enough to be noticed Sergey Rafanov, by poachers. The measures can be seen as a good the Director of the starting point for further steps to stop illegal activity. Kamchatka Bering Sea Ecoregional Office However, poaching for fish isn’t only a Kamchatka problem. The WWF-Russia Kamchatka Office and its partners have valuable experience to share. In autumn, our colleagues from WWF-Russia Barents Sea Ecoregional Office came to the peninsula to learn about Kamchatka’s anti-poaching activity on the Bolshaya River. And now public inspectors will work on the Varzuga River in the Murmansk region. The operations of two mining companies in Kamchatka remain under strict examination within the framework of the Environmental Responsibility Rating and the gradation system introduced in 2017. The companies, however, did not improve their positions compared to the previous March 2017 rating. This result urges us to look for new opportunities to engage mining operators in improving the environmental aspect of their work in 2018.
