The Targeted funding program – natural resources  (2021-2023) work is on progress. In the areas of “Bumps” and “Small Dam” of the Zhaiyk River, the analysis of the sturgeon juvenile sturgeon is carried out to further determine the effectiveness of natural reproduction of sturgeon.

Every day (from June 1 to July 1 this year), scientists of the Atyrau branch, G.G. Zhunusova and N.N. Batyrbek conduct trawling to catch juvenile sturgeon. They have been recorded in small numbers of stingrays of sterlet larvae and young sevryuga.

Considering that the stocking of artificial young sturgeon fish from the Atyrau sturgeon hatchery has not yet been carried out, we assume that the caught juveniles are “wild”, i.e. the offspring of sturgeon from natural reproduction

On the basis of the Bukhtarma Spawning and Growing Farm LLP, together with the Scientific and Production Center of Fisheries LLP, Work on white amur (Ctenopharyngodon idella) reproduction is underway, as part of the commercialization project for 2022-2024.

The aim of the project is to organize a fish-breeding process for the artificial reproduction, cultivation and sale of white amur fish-planting material on a pond farm in order to stock natural reservoirs.

The implementation of this project solves the problems of obtaining white amur’s own planting material on farms located in II-III fish breeding zones (East Kazakhstan region), adapted to natural and climatic conditions, for stocking natural reservoirs.

Currently, artificial reproduction of amur by the factory method has been carried out, larvae have been obtained and their stocking in ponds has been carried out. White Amur fingerlings will be grown in polyculture with carp and  its’s also possible to be grown monoculture. It is planned to grow 300 thousand white Amur fingerlings.

Also, within the framework of the project “Development and implementation of industrial technologies for growing promising fish farming facilities and invertebrate hydrobionts in fish farming enterprises”, work is being carried out on the introduction of pike reproduction technology (Esox Lucius) in the industrial conditions of Bukhtarma spawning farms LLP. In the spring, work was carried out on the procurement of spawners, the reproduction of pike and the rearing of juvenile pike in

Work continues.

Since May 25, 2023, the Kapshagai expeditionary detachment consisting of: Makambetov S.Zh., Ismukhanov H.K., Igilik R. have been conducting research on control trap at the Kapshagai reservoir in order to determine the catchability and selectivity of nylon (permitted) nets and synthetic nets of monofilaments and monofilament. The work is being carried out within the framework of the budget program on forecast topics (256-102-159).

To date, 15 network stops have been carried out on the Kapshagai reservoir by different networks, including nylon networks (5 network stops), monofilament networks (0.25 mm thick) and monofilament networks (0.30 mm thick) for 5 network stops.

The chief specialist of the department of Kapshagai fish inspection of Balkhash-Alakol inter-regional basin inspection of fisheries Samsybaev E. participates in the work and registration of relevant acts.

Work continues.

On the 8th of June 2023, in the Balkhash branch of LLP «Fisheries Research and Production Center»  was a meeting held between Deputy General Director Asylbekova S.Zh., director of the Balkhash branch E.E. Kumataeva,  the head of the Balkhash-Alakol Interregional Basin Fisheries Inspectorate Abibekov D.E. and fishermen of the Aktogay district.  There was conversation on the issues of work to determine the similarities and differences in the catch and selectivity of traditional fishing gear (nylon nets) and fishing gear made of synthetic monofilaments and monofilament. Research work within the framework of the control fishing continues.

In accordance with the agreement of LLP “Fisheries Research and Production Center” with LLP “Research and Production Center of Microbiology and Virology” on the project “Development of a domestic probiotic drug that increases the resistance and productivity of valuable fish species in aquaculture” on the basis of LLP “Kapshagayskoe spawning farms-1973”, studies are being conducted to assess the effectiveness of the effect of the developed domestic probiotic drug on fish-biological indicators of trout.

On June 6, in “Kapshagayskoye spawning farms-1973” LLP, scientific staff of the aquaculture laboratory of the LLP “Fisheries Research and Production Center”, N.S. Badryzlova, R.T. Barakov and A.T. Khalelov conducted another control catch and measurements of trout grown in pools using domestic artificial feed with the inclusion of probiotics.

In the head office of the Scientific and Production Center of Fisheries LLP, a meeting was held between Nariman Amirgaliev, PhD, Professor, academician, with the General director of the LLP “NPC of Fisheries” Isbekov Kuanysh Baybolatovich, PhD, Academician of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences of the Republic of Kazakhstan and employees of the testing center, hydroanalytics laboratory.

During the meeting, Kuanysh Baibolatovich congratulated Nariman Amirgalievich on being awarded the high title of “Academician of the Kazakhstan National Academy of Natural Sciences” and presented a certificate of renaming a research vessel (Balkhash branch) “Professor N. Amirgaliev” in “Academician N. Amirgaliev”.

In turn, Nariman Amirgalievich presented the library of the Center with the author’s literature on the development of fisheries science, ecological and toxicological areas, in the field of hydrochemistry and water and environmental problems. The Hydrolitic Laboratories were presented with valuable equipment for performing a wide range of laboratory tasks and analyses.

Also, the issue of joint research work on the study of the qualitative composition of water in the reservoirs of Kazakhstan was discussed.

For reference: Amirgaliev Nariman Amirgalievich worked in the Scientific and Production Center of Fisheries LLP (formerly KazNIIRH) continuously for 53 years (from July 11, 1959 to March 31, 2012). For many years he was the head of the hydrochemistry laboratory. In 2009-2011, he was the scientific director and executor of a major project on the problems of ecology and the use of water resources in the fisheries of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
