MOSCOW, May 11 – RIA Novosti. The Lenin Kamchatka Fishing Collective Farm is asking the Moscow Arbitration Court to recover 360 million rubles from the Federal Agency for Fisheries (Rosrybolovstvo), which is trying to deprive the plaintiff of quotas for catching halibut and grenadiers, according to materials available to RIA Novosti. The claim was filed with the court on April 30 and has not yet been accepted for consideration. Meanwhile, in the Far East, the parties have been conducting proceedings since 2024 on a claim by Rosrybolovstvo to terminate contracts with the Lenin Collective Farm for catching aquatic bioresources. In 2018, the agency concluded three contracts with the enterprise: for catching grenadiers in the North Kuril zone, for catching halibut in the Kamchatka-Kuril subzone, and for catching halibut in the West Kamchatka subzone. The contracts are concluded until the end of 2033, however, citing the fact that the collective farm used less than 70% of its quotas in 2022-2023, Rosrybolovstvo demanded that the contracts be terminated. The defendant in the Arbitration Court of Kamchatka Krai stated that "the main factor in the failure to develop halibut quotas in 2022-2023 is the decline in the number of the main halibut stocks due to the large number of killer whales." According to him, the figures were also affected by the coronavirus and sanctions, which delayed the construction of new vessels. In March, the court, at the request of Rosrybolovstvo, terminated only one contract - for the extraction of grenadiers. The defendant, the decision says, could not name the reasons for the failure to develop the quota under this contract. With regard to the contract for catching halibut in the Kamchatka-Kuril subzone, the court referred to another judicial act, which established that the collective farm had mastered 82% of the quota in 2022, so it cannot be said that it had failed to meet the standard for two years in a row. Regarding the contract for catching two types of halibut - white and black - in the West Kamchatka subzone, the court found that the quotas were mastered by the defendant in 2023 and 2024 by 73% and 63%. This "indicates that the Lenin State Fishing Complex made the necessary attempts to fulfill its obligations," the court noted. The court took into account the defendant's explanations that both types of halibut are caught simultaneously, but the share of black has decreased to zero. "Under such conditions, the absence of a catch of black halibut indicates the absence of this type of aquatic bioresources in the defendant's trawling operations for catching halibut in general," the court noted. Both the plaintiff and the defendant filed appeals against the decision, which have not yet been considered. According to BIR-Analytics, the founders of the Lenin fishing collective farm are 195 Russian citizens.

MOSCOW, May 11 – RIA Novosti. The Lenin Kamchatka Fishing Collective Farm is asking the Moscow Arbitration Court to recover 360 million rubles from the Federal Agency for Fisheries (Rosrybolovstvo), which is trying to deprive the plaintiff of quotas for catching halibut and grenadiers, according to materials available to RIA Novosti.
In 2018, the agency concluded three contracts with the enterprise: for the catch of grenadiers in the North Kuril zone, for the catch of halibuts in the Kamchatka-Kuril subzone, and for the catch of halibuts in the West Kamchatka subzone. The contracts were concluded until the end of 2033, however, citing the fact that the collective farm used less than 70% of its quotas in 2022-2023, Rosrybolovstvo demanded that the contracts be terminated.
In March, the court, following a claim by the Federal Agency for Fishery, terminated only one contract – for the extraction of grenadiers. The defendant, the decision says, could not provide reasons for the failure to use the quota under this contract. In the contract for the catch of halibut in the Kamchatka-Kuril subzone, the court referred to another judicial act, which established that the collective farm had used 82% of the quota in 2022, so it cannot be said that it had failed to meet the standard for two years in a row.

This "indicates that the Lenin Fishery Company made the necessary attempts to fulfill its obligations," the court noted.
The court took into account the defendant's explanation that both types of halibut were caught simultaneously, but the share of black halibut had dropped to zero.
"Under such conditions, the absence of a catch of black halibut indicates the absence of this type of aquatic bioresources in the defendant's trawling operations to catch halibut in general," the court stated.
Both the plaintiff and the defendant filed appeals against the decision, which have not yet been considered.
