Synergy of Science and Practice — a Key to the Development of Aquaculture, Product Quality Improvement, and Food Security in Kazakhstan
Modern aquaculture is a high-tech industry that is actively developing through the integration of scientific achievements and practical production. One of the key factors for the successful and sustainable growth of fish farming is effective collaboration between production enterprises and research institutions.
Joint projects between fish farms and scientific organizations make it possible to introduce advanced methods of water quality and fish health monitoring, breeding and reproduction using biotechnologies and cutting-edge innovations. Particularly important are developments aimed at introducing new species into aquaculture in Kazakhstan, revising technologies for the cultivation of traditional species in line with technological progress, as well as addressing issues of biodiversity conservation in our water bodies.
📍 For this purpose, employees of the National Research Center for Fisheries (LLP “NRCF”), including Deputy Head of the Science Department, Doctor of Biological Sciences, Professor S.Zh. Assylbekov, Head of the Aquaculture Laboratory N.B. Bulavina, and Researcher of the Aquaculture Laboratory, PhD G.M. Maratova, visited LLP “AgroAquaComplex.”
The fish farming site of LLP “AgroAquaComplex” is located in Almaty region, village Baidibek bi. Coordinates: latitude 43°31’34.67”N, longitude 77°41’3.91”E.
The main target species for cultivation at the site include carp (Cyprinus carpio), grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella), silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), and sturgeon species (particularly Siberian sturgeon, Acipenser baerii).
Water supply for the fish farming site comes from small rivers formed by springs and groundwater, provided mainly by gravity flow. To prevent fish from escaping the ponds, protective nets are installed at water inlets and outlets. The water flow rate in the ponds can be regulated.
Water discharge from the ponds flows into drainage channels and is subsequently used for irrigation of fields located downstream of the farm.
There are no sources of anthropogenic impact or factors negatively affecting the environment in the area of the LLP “AgroAquaComplex” fish farm.
