China is an important supplier country for Russia's seafood market.

Import volumes of multiple fish species have seen significant growth: Frozen mackerel: Import volume more than doubled, reaching 14,000 tons, with an import value of 19 million USD. This surge is directly related to the decline in Russian mackerel catch in 2024, with Chinese mackerel products filling the resulting supply gap. Frozen trout: Import volume increased by 2.2 times, reaching 4,000 tons, with the import value increasing by 2.4 times to 35 million USD. This growth is due to the rising domestic demand for salmon species, and a decrease in supply from the traditional supplier, Turkey. Frozen saury: Import volume of saury increased by nearly 45%, with the import value increasing by 85%, reaching 7,500 tons and 13 million USD respectively. Despite the increase in import volume for most categories, some products saw a decline, such as a 20% decrease in the import volume of fried eel slices and a 30% decrease in the import volume of dried squid.
