Determining the fee amount for the use of objects of aquatic biological resources

Abstract

The use of water biological resources is based on the principle of payment. The fee charged to the income of the state should be redistributed to ensure public spending in the areas of social policy, monitoring of water biological resources, scientific research, protection and reproduction of water biological resources. The current method of collecting fees for the use of aquatic biological resources is outdated, does not meet today's realities and requires changes. The amount of payment determined in accordance with the existing procedure does not reflect the net value of the resources at the time of payment. The aim of the study is to develop a new approach to determining fair fees for the use of water biological resources. On the basis of the structural and functional method of the research the author studied the structure, as well as the elements and functional characteristics of the current practice of calculating fees for the use of water biological resources. Taking into account the existing possibilities of interaction of subjects of the considered process, the concept of determination of size of collecting for use of objects of water biological resources is offered as a possible option. The proposed concept is based on an efficient approach of economic evaluation of the resource, taking into account the current situation on the market. In addition, the proposed concept provides for a number of benefits for users of aquatic biological resources, whose activities contribute to the development of Russian fish production, industrial safety, growth in consumption of high-quality protein products by the population, development and support of remote coastal areas.
