Best world practices for creating and developing the infrastructure of the fisheries complex

This article analyzes best global practices in the creation and development of fisheries infrastructure, with a focus on mariculture. Successful examples from China, South Korea, Canada, the United States, Norway, Portugal, France, and Russia are examined, including cultivation technologies, product range, socioeconomic indicators, advantages, and disadvantages. A comparison is made with Russia, where mariculture development in the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation (AZRF) lags behind global leaders but has significant potential. Based on summary tables and analysis, an optimal practice for the AZRF is proposed-the adaptation of Norwegian offshore cultivation technologies similar to those developed by Seaweed Energy Solutions (SES), taking into account sustainability in Arctic conditions and the impact of sanctions. The study draws on current scientific publications and project data as of September 2025, with counterarguments (environmental risks, geopolitical factors) added to balance the analysis.
