International cooperation

In 2002, Belarus and Russia signed an agreement on collaboration in the field of fisheries. According to Article 5 of the agreement, Russia annually allocates an amount of fish from the Russian EEZ that can be caught in the name of Belarus, and issues licences for fishery activities for joint Belarusian-Russian enterprises.

Research

The main institutes are:

Belarusian Research and Design Institute of Fish Industry (Academy of Agricultural Sciences of Republic of Belarus), in Minsk; and Institute of Zoology of the National Academy of the Republic of Belarus, Minsk.

The institutes are mostly engaged in investigations in the aquaculture sector. AID External support has been received from the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development in the form of credit (US$ 2 million) for a joint company "Santa-Bremor" in the city of Brest, where a processing department with a capacity of 35 t/day was brought into operation in 2001. The "Minskiy Rybokomplex" OAO, Minsk, in 2003–2004 received interest-free credit equivalent to € 4.2 million for factory reconstruction.
