Description
Summary:Lycodes soldatovi is one of the dominant mezobental fish species in the Okhotsk Sea, it has a commercial value. The minimal length for its sustainable fishery is defined on the base of mass measurements of 12075 ind., biological analysis of 3993 ind., and age determination for 628 ind. Its maximal registered length is 83 cm, the length of mass maturation is about 57 cm. The latter can be considered as the fishing length limit. Landings of L. soldatovi are low and do not affect negatively on the population, so any restrictive measures aren’t required yet.
