SeafoodNews, Sept. 28 - Russia remains one of the world's top 10 seafood exporters for now, despite mounting pressure from Western sanctions against it.

Some markets have stopped buying Russian seafood, but its position in the Chinese market is striking, with exports of Russian seafood to China up 67 percent in the first seven months of this year, accounting for half of total Russian seafood exports.

Russia mainly exports pollock and crab to China. Besides, Russian seafood is mainly exported to other Asian countries, as well as to the Persian Gulf and Africa.
