Fish communities of the Tatar Strait and
south-western part of the Okhotsk Sea are
represented by species from different
ecological groups (see diagrams on right).
Species composition of pelagic ichthyofauna
of the Tatar Strait and south-western part
of the Okhotsk Sea varies significantly due
to the periodic migrations of the south-
latitude fishes.
In the 20th century, the shelf and coastal
waters of the Sakhalin Island were rather
important for fishery (annual catch of
herring reached 350 000 tons, sardine -
360 000 tons, walleye pollock
tons, pink salmon
-
410 000
100 000 tons and
Pacific cod more than 50 000 tons).
-
By the end of the last century, the stock
abundances of many common fish species
(walleye pollock, Pacific cod, sardine, and
capelin) declined so that their commercial
fishery was stopped.
