Abstract: The article presents some of the results of research by a team of authors on the problems of ensuring the country's food security and assessing the export potential of food in the segment of fish products. The objective of this study is to characterize and evaluate government measures to regulate the development of the fishery complex. For this, industry analysis, market analysis and evaluation of existing strategic documents were carried out. Based on the results of the sectoral analysis, the characteristics of the structure of the fishery complex, the assessment of the raw material base, and the urgent problems of the development of the sub-sectors of fish farming and fishing are identified. The results of the market analysis made it possible to formulate its specific features: despite the orientation towards the export of the fish industry, there are obvious problems in the development of the domestic market for fish products, such as regional differentiation of physical accessibility, a limited segment of aquaculture, a low share of processing and high product losses. An actual problem of the fishery complex, which also affects the development trends of the fish market, is the material and technical equipment. The primary task is, in fact, the creation of a domestic fishing fleet, as well as the modernization of processing and logistics clusters. Moreover, the solution of this problem requires systemic and large-scale measures on the part of the state. Currently, in order to accelerate the technical and technological modernization of the fishing fleet, an investment quota program is in place, which already has a positive effect in the form of an increase in the number of fishing boats. However, additional measures are also needed to balance the capacities of the fishing fleet, develop processing enterprises, and coordinate the transport and logistics system, which are difficult to implement only through the efforts of entrepreneurs. At the same time, the current strategic documents regulating the development of the fishery complex prioritize only production areas: the development of biological water resources extraction capacities and the development of domestic aquaculture.
