Materials on commercial harvesting of fish in Vodlozerskoye storage reservoir over a five year period are presented. Data on the number of organized users, fishing grounds and fishing gear in 2012-2015 are reported. Fishery statistics data for 2011-2015 were analyzed. The fisheries resources have changed, catch and utilization of aquatic bioresources (both overall and by species) have declined, whereas fluctuations of the harvestable stock size have been minor. The distribution of commercial harvests during a year (specifically 2015) is demonstrated.
