With the season on track to be the second-highest harvest in history, the shortage of cold storage facilities has become cause for alarm, particularly with the closure of China to Russian product.

To date, the country’s cold storage capacities located in the Far East are 80 percent loaded, according to the Kamchatka Salmon Catchers Association (KSCA).
