LARGHA SEAL (PHOCA LARGHA) AND ITS INFLUENCE ON PACIFIC SALMON RESOURCES IN THE MOUTH OF OZERNAYA RIVER (THE OKHOTSK SEA COAST OF KAMCHATKA) IN 2017–2018

Abstract
The effects of largha seal in the estuary zone of the Ozernaya River was evaluated. Data on traumatizing of salmon by different predators were analyzed, consumption of salmon by largha seals in the estuary zone was evaluated. A review on the literature data is provided concerning the problem of protecting the catches from marine mammals; it is suggested to work out a method of protecting the catches from largha seal predation, appropriate for conditions in Russian Far Eastern seas.
