CITES – the reduced name of the Convention on international trade in the types of wild fauna and flora which are under the threat of disappearance (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, СИТЕК in the Russian transcription of CITES) – the international government agreement signed as a result of the resolution of the International union of conservation of nature (IUCN) in 1973 in Washington. It entered into force on July 1, 1975. Also known as the «Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.»

In order to preserve species of wild fauna and flora, and recognizing that international cooperation is necessary to protect certain species of wild fauna and flora from overexploitation in international trade, the Republic of Kazakhstan acceded to the Convention by Act No. 372-1 of 6 April 1999. The objective of the Convention is to ensure that the international trade in wild animals and plants does not endanger their survival; the agreement represents different degrees of protection for more than 33,000 species of animals and plants.

Preamble of the Convention:

«Contracting States, Recognizing that wild fauna and flora, in their many beautiful and diverse forms, are an indispensable part of the Earth`s natural systems, which must be protected for the present generation and for the future, Aware of the increasing value of wild fauna and flora in terms of aesthetics, science, culture, recreation and economics, Recognizing that peoples and States are and should be the best custodians of their own wild fauna and flora, Recognizing also that international cooperation is necessary to protect certain species of wild fauna and flora from overexploitation in international trade, Convinced of the need to take appropriate measures to that end, agreed on the following…» Threatened species are grouped in three Annexes according to the extent of their threat of extinction and the measures taken to trade them.

Annex I – about 800 species The annex includes all endangered species whose trade has or may have an adverse effect on their existence. Trade in specimens of these species should be particularly strictly regulated so as not to further jeopardize their survival and should be allowed only in exceptional circumstances. Among the species of this list in particular – gorilla (Gorilla gorilla), species of chimpanzees (Pan spp.), tiger (Panthera tigris), indian lion (Panthera leo persica), leopard (Panthera pardus), jaguar (Panthera onca), indian elephant (Elephas maximus), some populations of savannovy african elephant (Loxodonta africana), dugong (Dugong dugon), manatees (Trichechidae) and all species of rhinoceroses, except for some subspecies of South Africa. Annex II – about 32,500 species

The annex includes all species that, although not necessarily at risk of extinction at this time, may be at risk if trade in specimens of such species is not strictly regulated to prevent use that is incompatible with their survival; and other species that need to be regulated so that trade in samples of some species from the first list can be effectively controlled.Annex III – about 300 species.

Annex III shall include all types which, as defined by any Party, are subject to regulation within it’s jurisdiction to prevent or restrict exploitation and for which cooperation of other parties in control of trade is required. Since the signing of the convention in 1975, no one species under it’s protection has died out yet as a result of trade. In accordance with paragraph 3 of the Decree of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan of December 28, 1999 N 1994 «On measures to ensure the fulfillment by the Republic of Kazakhstan of obligations, arising from the Convention on international Trade in Species of Wild Flora and Fauna», the function of the scientific organization on Terrestrial Animal and Bird Species to fulfil the obligations under the Convention in the Republic of Kazakhstan is entrusted to the Republican state enterprise on the right of economic management «Institute of zoology» of the Committee of science of the Ministry of education and science of the Republic of Kazakhstan (RSE «Institute of zoology» KS MES RK). The main task of this scientific orgaisation is to provide scientific and methodological support for the implementation of the obligations of the Republic of Kazakhstan arising from the provisions of CITES, from the recommendations and resolutions of the Conferences of the Parties to the Convention, from the recommendations of the committees and the CITES Secretariat.

– a patent application will be prepared and filed on the method of rearing wild carp juveniles and fingerlings in ponds, on the technology of transporting wild carp planting material over long distances to the place of release, on the formation of a repair and breeding stock of wild carp in a fish farm;

– seminars will be held with agricultural producers on the technology of growing wild carp planting material in fish farming conditions;

– prepare promotional materials for products, price lists, presentation materials;

– a production site for pond cultivation of wild carp fingerlings will be created.

 

The results obtained in 2018: The purchase of equipment and materials for the work was carried out, the preparation of a heating pond was carried out to ensure the supply of high-quality water to the incubation shop.

The results obtained in 2019: Work was carried out on the preparation of pond areas for the cultivation of fingerlings and the maintenance of RBS wild carp. A production site for pond cultivation of wild carp fingerlings has been created. The harvesting of wild carp producers was carried out at the ALS (Alakol lake system), the caught wild carp specimens were transported to the incubation workshop of Kapshagai Spawning and Growing Farm-1973LLP, adapted to the conditions of the workshop and then to the conditions of ponds. Carp fingerlings have been grown and sold. A patent for utility model No. 4232 “An improved pond for growing early wild carp juveniles” was obtained.

The results obtained in 2021: Harvesting of carp producers was carried out at the ALS (Alakol lake system), the caught wild carp specimens were transported to the incubation workshop of Kapshagai Spawning and Growing Farm-1973LLP, adapted to the conditions of the workshop and then to the conditions of ponds. A repair and breeding herd (RBS) of wild carp was formed from individuals caught in 2019 and 2021. Wild carp fingerlings have been grown and sold. A seminar was held in order to promote the project on the topic “Pond cultivation of wild carp planting material”. Patents for utility model No. 4968 “Improved removable container for transporting live wild carp juveniles” and No. 5221 “Improved method for growing wild carp fingerlings in ponds” were obtained.

The results obtained in 2022: Genetic studies of the individuals of the RBS wild carp were carried out, the polymorphism of the individuals of the RBS wild carp was evaluated. A spawning campaign was carried out from imported wild carp producers, wild carp larvae were obtained. The resulting larvae were buried in prepared ponds, wild carp fingerlings were grown and sold. Genetic studies have been carried out and genetic passports for the carp’s RBS have been developed. A seminar was held in order to promote the project on the topic “Technologies for the formation of wild carp RBS in pond farming conditions”. A patent for utility model No. 7547 dated 10/28/2022 “A method for forming a repair and breeding stock of wild carp in a fish farm” was obtained. At Bukhtarma Spawning and Growing Farm LLP: In 2022, wild carp producers from the ALS were imported.
