Viktor Litvinenko, who was named the new general director of the Russian Fishery Company (RFC) in November, takes over during a period of transformation for both the group and the country's pollock sector.

RFC, now one of Russia's largest seafood companies, has been at the center of the wide-scale modernization of the fishing fleet and seafood processing sector, and now is primed to take a lead in the value-added processing industry not only in the Russian pollock sector but worldwide.
