IRN АР09058066 «Development of the active mobile hydroacoustic fish-protecting device for protection of juveniles from hit in spillways of HPS dams, reservoirs»

Premises to development of the project:

Now effective fish-protecting devices are not made for protection of fishes and juveniles of fishes against hit in water waste constructions of dams of large hydroelectric power stations and water reservoirs. The water waste constructions of large water-engineering systems, are characterized ultrahigh (up to 500 m 3 /s) volumes of the dumped water. And dumping of water can go in the volley way – when there is technical need, for short period large amount of water is dumped. At the same time on the big site before spillway quickly there is powerful current of the flowing-away water which tightens through water waste the channel all fish and whitebaits. Traditional types of fish protection are of little use here, in view of extreme conditions of volley spillway. The scientific novelty of the project consists in implementation of new approach in the field of fish-protecting devices – the active mobile high-intensity acoustic fish protection capable to effectively protect fishes and juveniles on spillways of dams of large hydroelectric power stations and water reservoirs.

 Тo develop the effective fish-protecting device (further FPD), for protection of fishes and juveniles of fishes from hit in water waste constructions of hydroelectric power station and other large water-engineering systems.

  The expected results:

 А development of the effective fish-protecting device for large water-engineering systems with volley spillways, production and testing of prototype, execution of the package of documents for production and operation.

 The achieved results for half a year:

 The research of hydrological and icthyological conditions of a reservoir and spillway of a dam is conducted. For these purposes in quality of a model reservoir the Kirov reservoir UKOOS in the West Kazakhstan region is chosen. As a model spillway the dam of the Kirov reservoir was chosen. According to the plan of performance of hydrological researches 75 measurements of depths and 85 measurements of speed of a current, on the water area of a reservoir and around a water waste construction of a dam were carried out. According to the plan of performance of icthyological researches 10 scientific lov were carried out, concentration and ways of migrations of fishes were established. Were taken on determination of specific, age and dimensional and weight structure of a fish fauna of 320 copies of fishes. To determine the concentration, migrations and downstream migration of juvenile fish, 20 samples of early juveniles were taken with the help of the Russ’s circle, and 10 samples of late juveniles with the help of juvenile drag device. As a result of the conducted researches, basic hydrological and icthyological data in order that it was possible to make the correct decisions on a design, complete set and mode of operation of the active mobile hydroacoustic fish-protecting device were obtained. As a result of the research, the initial hydrological and ichthyological data were obtained for making the right decisions on the design, configuration and operation of an active mobile hydroacoustic fish protection device.

 Achieved results in 2021:

 The conducted hydrological studies made it possible to study the depths and the carrying speeds of the water flow at the approach to the spillway of the dam. Ichthyological studies have made it possible to obtain data on the species, age and size composition of the ichthyofauna, the biological characteristics of protected fish and juveniles. The studies of the first year served as the basis for making the right decisions on the design, configuration and operation of an active mobile sonar fish protection device for effective protection of fish and juveniles from entering the spillways of large hydroelectric dams and reservoirs. The Kirov reservoir Ural-Kushumskaya irrigation and watering system (UKIWS) in the West Kazakhstan region was chosen as a model reservoir.

 Information for potential users

 

The work on the project is aimed for increase the stocks and quality of Artemia cysts, which has not been available in the Republic of Kazakhstan until now. The implementation of the project is important for the national economy. Kazakhstan possesses 10-15% of artemia world reserves; the production limit cyst from republic reservoirs for 2019 is set in the amount of 1492.81 tons (limit/quota) [3, 4]. The main part of the specified volume is made by Pavlodar region lakes (1116.0 tons per year). The development and increase in the productivity of the biological resource of Artemia cysts in the salt-water bodies of Kazakhstan can be one of the main directions of the development of domestic production of starter bio-feeds of aquatic origin for the needs of fish farming and aquaculture.

 

The objectives of the project in 2023 were to analyze the data obtained for 2021-2023 from lakes Stanovoe and Mengisor in the North Kazakhstan region; lakes Kazy, Kalatuz, Seyten, Sharbakty of Pavlodar region; Tuschybas and Chernysheva bays and areas of the western part of the Great Aral Sea in the Kyzylorda and Aktobe regions. According to the project program, studies of bitter-salty reservoirs were conducted. Besides, brine shrimp Artemia franciscana from three geographical locations: America, China and Thailand. Data were obtained as a result of the project on the current state of the habitat of Artemia in nine bitter-salty reservoirs of the Republic of Kazakhstan (assessment in a seasonal aspect of hydrological and hydrochemical parameters and parameters of the food supply – phytoplankton); about the morpho-biological and population characteristics of the crustacean; about the genetic status of the objects in question; on the assessment of biochemical and toxicological parameters of cysts, nauplii (larvae) and crustaceans of two populations of Artemia A. parthenogenetica and A. franciscana; about the possible coexistence of two Artemia populations.

New biological justification and temporary standards for the introduction and rational use of commercially valuable invertebrates in the bitter-salty water bodies of Kazakhstan were developed based on the analysis of research results.

For more than 90 years of its activity FishRPC continuously monitors the state of ecosystems, water bodies of Kazakhstan and their biological resources, the development of the biological bases of rational use and reproduction of fish stocks, gives annual forecasts of fish catch volumes, proposals for rules and mode of fishing. Every year, on the basis of science – based data KazNIIRH goes Government Decision on limits of fish catch from the Republic of reservoirs. Accumulated many years of data bank on hydrology, hydrobiology, hydrochemistry, toxicology in terms of human impact on the ecosystems of water bodies.Conducted acclimatization work on the introduction of feed and fish fauna of invertebrates.Together with the production of the works on the lake-commercial fish farming.Estimated reserves of valuable bioresource – crustacean Artemia cysts and across the waters of the mineralized waters of the Republic of Kazakhstan. It introduces the industrial fishery: developed technology of cultivation and breeding of fish with warm water and warm-water power stations. By using the latest genetic techniques (chemical mutagenesis and radiation gynogenesis) created highly productive breed groups of carp and silver carp. Scientists fish farmers developed general layout of fish farms, breeding and biotechnology regulatory framework for specific regions of Kazakhstan. A resource-saving technology of fish breeding in polyculture using cheap feed mixtures. Recommendations for prevention and treatment of fish diseases in fish and spawning-vyrastnyh farms, to reduce the incidence of fish in natural waters. Research on the technique of fishing, which allowed to offer new and more effective methods and fishing gear, machines and equipment for mechanization of labor-intensive processes in the fishing industry. It was introduced into production horizontal vacuum boilers of domestic production for the production of fish meal and progressive technology canning sardines. A number of manufacturing technologies and methods of manufacture of canned fish, sausages, fish products smoked, various range of low-value fish glue from fish scales, etc. Economic research has focused on the analysis of economic activities of fisheries in order to increase their economic efficiency and improving work organization.Since 2001, carried out comprehensive environmental studies aimed at assessing the status of living aquatic resources of transboundary water basins.A refined and developed principles and criteria for the distribution of living aquatic resources between neighboring countries. The research results are used in the work of the Commission on Aquatic Bioresources of the Caspian Sea at the interstate distribution of total allowable catches of sturgeon and other commercially valuable fish. Based on these studies and interaction with scientific – research organizations of the Caspian states to develop common methods for estimating the number of sturgeon species, developed a regional program for conservation and sustainable use of biological resources of the Caspian Sea.Currently performed research work in the following budget programs:”Applied research in the field of fisheries for the conservation and restoration of fish resources and other aquatic organisms in the water bodies of international and republican significance Republic of Kazakhstan” on the following projects:The study of population dynamics and a comprehensive threat assessment factors Caspian seal population Assessment of natural and artificial reproduction of sturgeon species Ural river Research on the effectiveness of devices used by fish protection and development recommendations on the modernization and introduction of new fish protection devices in order to preserve fish stocks in Kazakhstan waters Study of the current state of fisheries hydroecological reservoirs and development of biological studies on the feasibility and priority of the fishery reclamation to preserve and enhance the capacity of fishery ponds Assessment of the main fishery resources fishing ponds Kazakhstan to develop a careful inventory management strategy and ensure sustainable fisheries – “Development of effective commercial fish farming technologies in the Republic of Kazakhstan” the following 5 projects:Development of cost-effective technologies of cultivation of valuable species fish and their introduction to the hatcheries in Kazakhstan Development and implementation of domestic formulations specialized feed Ichthyopathological and microbiological evaluation of fish grown in fish farms Genetic evaluation and updating of the genetic data bank aquaculture Assessment of the economic and social efficiency of technology of cultivation of fish species – “Grant funding for research” on the themes:Development and implementation of biotechnological methods trout cultivation using domestic feed products with the inclusion of probiotic action to improve the conditions of cultivation and increase fish production Genetic differentiation among populations of the crustacean Artemia as a valuable bioresource salt ponds Kazakhstan Genetic monitoring of natural and artificial reproduction of sturgeon of the Ural-Caspian basin to preserve their biodiversity and restoration of Aquatic invertebrates as regional biological indicators of ecological status of water bodies in Kazakhstan.- “Normative – methodical support of agribusiness industries”;- “Carrying out activities for the dissemination and implementation of innovative experience”Running large amount of extrabudgetary contracts in areas such as:- Scientific support of fisheries management in the fixed reservoirs;- Certification of fishery reservoirs and identify promising reservoirs for fisheries management (commercial fish farming, fishing, shrimp production);- The development of fish farming – biological foundations of creating fish farms of various types;- Development of biological studies on acclimatization and stocking;- Development of biological studies for the calculation of the damage to fisheries of economic activity and recommendations for its reduction;- Development of methods and fish breeding and technological standards for artificial reproduction and commodity cultivation of new aquaculture species and a large number of other applied research work.
