Russian pollock giant NBAMR expected to launch bid for Barents Sea crab quotas

With a 200,000 metric ton quota, the harvesting giant has plenty of resources to finance a larger stake in the country's fisheries.

Russia wants to get an even bigger slice of the Barents Sea king crab market. Norway has been successfully fishing the invasive species, and finding eager new markets.
