Today, in Ust-Kamenogorsk, in honor of the 70th anniversary of the Altai branch of the “RPC of Fisheries” LLP, the International scientific and practical conference “Development of the fishing industry: actual problems and their solutions” is being held.

The conference is chaired by the CEO Isbekov K.B. The moderator of the conference is the deputy CEO Asylbekova S.Zh. In the program of the Conference: honoring veterans, speech by the head of the Zaisan-Ertis interregional basin inspection of the fisheries Сommittee Kitapbaev S.K., reports by the directors and researchers of the Altai, Atyrau, West Kazakhstan, Balkhash, Northern and Aral branches of the “RPC of Fisheries”. Also, the report was made by doctor of agricultural sciences, associate professor, head of the NOC “Sturgeon Breeding”, professor of the department of biotechnology, zoology and aquaculture Astrakhan state university Vasilyeva L.M. and an employee of the department of nature management and geoecology of the Altai state university Inyushova N.V.. 

As a result of the conference, a discussion took place on the development of the fishing industry in the East Kazakhstan region and the Republic of Kazakhstan as a whole, as well as the presentation of certificates to participants.

The 70th anniversary of the Altai Branch and the International conference were timed to coincide with the professional holiday “Fisherman’s Day”, which is celebrated in Kazakhstan every 2nd Sunday of July.

From May 21 to June 04, according to the calendar plan, within the budget program 256, subprogram 102 on the subject «Determination of the fish productivity of fishery reservoirs, development of biological justifications for the of the permissible fishing limit (ПДУ) of the impact of the fish and other aquatic animals…», as well as “Assessment of the condition of fish resources in reserve reservoirs of local importance” and by program 267 PTF «Complete assessment of the state of fish resources and other hydrobionts of the main fishing water reservoirs of Kazakhstan and the development of evidence-based recommendations for their sustainable use» the employees of the Balkhash branch of the “RPC of Fisheries” LLC carry out research work on the Ile River in the Aral-Tobe and Bakanas regions, reservoirs of the Ile River Delta. 

Sampling for hydrochemistry and hydrobiology (phytoplankton, zooplankton and zoobenthos) is carried out, as well as biological analysis of fish.

Within the PTF (ПЦФ) project “Development of evidence-based recommendations for increasing the fish productivity of fishery reservoirs through the introduction and reintroduction of fish and hydrobionts – components of the food base of fish”, as a part of the budget program 267, the employees of the laboratory of hydrobiology and hydroanalysis are testing the survival of the bivalve mollusk Monodacna colorata (Eichwald, 1829) from the Kapchagai reservoir in the natural water of Lake Sasykkol.

Currently, a 100% survival rate for monodacna has been documented.

Within the project PTF «Assessment of production, genetic, chemical and microbiological parameters for the development of recommendations for the certification of Artemia cysts in water reservoirs of Kazakhstan» of the budget program «Complete assessment of the state of fish resources and other hydrobionts of the main fishing water reservoirs of Kazakhstan and the development of evidence-based recommendations for their sustainable use», according to the schedule, the employees of the laboratory of hydrobiology and hydroanalysts made a trip to the bitter-salty Raiskye lakes of the Aksu district of the Almaty region in order to collect primary material. During the business trip, sampling was carried out for future hydrochemical, hydrobiological (phytoplankton, zooplankton, zoobenthos), genetic, biochemical studies. 

The Raiskye lakes are a group of bitter-salty lakes formed in a wide valley to south of the Balkhash lake between the Karatal and Aksu rivers. The concentration of minerals in these natural reservoirs is so high that the density of water exceeds the density of the human body, i.e. it is impossible to drown in them, and this special feature of the hydrological and hydrochemical regime is favorable for the habitation of the branchial crustacean of the genus Artemia, which was recorded by the expedition team in all the surveyed reservoirs.

From May 05, 2022 to May 14, 2022, employees of the Altai branch of the “RPC of Fisheries” LLP, together with state inspectors of the Semey fish inspection department of the RGP “Zaisan-Ertis Interregional Basin Fisheries Inspection”, research work was carried out on the Shchulbinsk reservoir – Yertys river by the budget program 256, subprogram 102 on the subject “Determination of the fish productivity of fishery reservoirs, development of biological justifications for the of the permissible fishing limit (ПДУ) of the impact of the fish and other aquatic animals, the regime and regulation of fishing in fishery reservoirs of international importance, as well as an assessment of the condition of fish resources” on the PTF project “Assessment of the role of sport and recreational fishing and its impact on ichthyocenosis in the main fishery water reservoirs of Kazakhstan”.

Today, 02.06.2022, the Ⅰ International Conference “WORLDWIDE AQUACULTURE: PRESENT AND FUTURE” was held in Almaty.

ВToday, 02.06.2022, the Ⅰ International Conference “WORLDWIDE AQUACULTURE: PRESENT AND FUTURE” was held in Almaty». The conference was attended by the CEO of the “Research and Production Center for Fisheries” (the RPC of Fisheries), D.Sc. Isbekov K.B. and made a presentation: “A scientific approach to the development of aquaculture”. During the event the best fish farmers of Kazakhstan as well as experts and businessmen from Poland, Turkey, Uzbekistan and Russia shared their experience.

The conference was organized by “Balyk Mektep” LLP with the support of the Fisheries Committee of the MEGNR of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Согласно календарного плана в рамках проекта ПЦФ «Оценка продукционных, генетических, химических и микробиологических параметров для разработки рекомендаций по сертификации цист артемии в водоемах Казахстана» бюджетной программы «Комплексная оценка состояния рыбных ресурсов и других гидробионтов основных рыбопромысловых водоемов Казахстана и разработка научно-обоснованных рекомендаций по их устойчивому использованию» сотрудниками лаборатории гидробиологии и гидроаналитики (Антипова Н.В., Минат А., Кожижанова Б.А.) совместно с лабораторией генетики гидробионтов осуществлён выезд на горько-солёное озеро Тузколь Райымбекского района юго-восточной части Алматинской области с целью сбора первичного материала. 

За период командировки был проведен отбор проб для проведения гидрохимических, гидробиологических (фитопланктон, зоопланктон, зообентос), генетических и биохимических исследований.

Today “RPC of Fisheries” LLP is doing R&D work on the TFP project: «The study of populations of rare and endangered fish species and alien hydrobionts on purpose order to develop recommendations for the artificial reproduction of rare species and the prevention of the invasion of alien species of fish and other hydrobionts».

Within the framework of this project, research work is being carried out in the Aral-Syrdarya, Balkash-Alakol and Yertis basins.

One of the objectives of the project is the removal of living material of rare and endangered fish species in the reservoirs of the Balkash-Alakol basin and the development of a technology for the domestication of thorn sturgeon in the fishery.

A scientists of the “RPC of Fisheries” LLP are working in lake Balkhash, the Karatal river, the Ile river and the Kapshagai reservoir to catch thorn sturgeon on the base of the Permission to catch, as well as the detection of invasion species of fish and other hydrobionts in the Balkash-Alakol basin.
