The project is being carried out by UNDP with financial support from the Global Environment Facility; the general developer of the document is the Kazakhstan Association for Biodiversity Conservation.

Today, June 12, 2024, in accordance with the Plan of main activities for the implementation of the powers of the Mazhilis of the Parliament of the Republic of Kazakhstan of the eighth convocation for the second session, the Committee on Agrarian Issues is holding a thematic meeting on the topic: “On the development of fisheries and aquaculture.”

The meeting is attended by the General Director of the FishRPC LLP, Doctor of Biological Sciences, Professor, Academician of the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences of the Republic of Kazakhstan Isbekov K.B. with a report on the topic: “The state and problems of scientific support for the industry.”

The meeting program includes a discussion of the following issues:

Current state, problems and prospects for the development of the fishing industry in the Republic of Kazakhstan.

State and problematic issues of protection and reproduction of fish resources.

Condition, main problems of functioning of fishery enterprises and factors hindering the development of aquaculture.

State and problems of personnel supply in the industry.

Issues of social support for inspectors exercising state control and supervision in the field of fisheries.

Growth and problems of development of the fish processing industry, production of equipment and high-quality feed.

Other problematic issues, plans and proposals for the development of the industry.

Currently, the post-implementation period continues within the framework of the commercialization project “Artificial reproduction and cultivation of carp fish seeding material for the purpose of its further sale for stocking natural reservoirs of the Republic of Kazakhstan” financed by the Science Foundation JSC.

This project is being implemented on the basis of the Kapashagay Spawning and Rearing Farm LLP – 1973, in the Almaty region.

Employees of FishRPC LLP carried out the following work:

1. Valuation of repair and breeding stock of carp;

2. Selection of reproductive products from carp producers;

3. Incubation of fertilized eggs;

4. Raising carp larvae

From May 18 to the present, by employees of FishRPC LLP (head of the expedition team – Makambetov S.Zh., acting head of ichthyology laboratories – Sansyzbaev E.T., acting junior researcher Igilik R., scientific employee – Mukatai A., senior laboratory assistant – Maratuly K. and laboratory assistant – Abishev N.B.) research work is carried out on the Kapshagai reservoir and the Ile River according to BP 021 “Determination of fish productivity of fishery reservoirs and/or their areas, development of biological justification for maximum permissible volumes of catches of fish and other aquatic animals, regime and regulation of fishing in fishery reservoirs of international, republican significance and reservoirs of the Balkhash-Alakol Basin Specially protected natural areas Section: Kapshagai reservoir and Ile River.”

The purpose of this work is to assess the current state of populations of the main commercial fish species to calculate the maximum permissible volumes of removal of fish resources and other aquatic animals and to develop recommendations for the rational management of fishing in the Kapshagai reservoir, the backwater zone, and the Ile River (upper reaches).

Currently, the expedition team is carrying out the following work:

– selection and analysis of hydrochemical samples;

-collection of hydrobiological samples during the growing season (zooplankton, phytoplankton and zoobenthos) and fish nutrition during the feeding period;

– networking for biological analysis of commercial ichthyofauna in fishing areas (biotopes).

During the period of scientific research work at the Kapshagai reservoir, the chief specialist of the Kapshagai fishery inspection department of the Balkhash-Alakol interregional basin fisheries inspection N.V. Shkurkin takes part.

From May 22, 2024 to the present, work continues within the framework of the commercialization project No. AP15573704: “Artificial reproduction, cultivation and sale of one year grass carp in the conditions of the second and third fish-breeding zones,” financed by the Science Foundation JSC.

This project is being implemented on the basis of the grant recipient, Bukhtarma Spawning and Rearing Farm LLP, in the East Kazakhstan region.

Currently, the staff (senior researcher Bulavina N.B., researcher Bulavin E.F.) of the FishRPC have carried out the following work:

1. Valuation of the breeding stock of grass carp;
2. Selection of reproductive products from grass carp breeders;
3. Incubation of fertilized eggs;
4. Stocking the nursery pond with grass carp larvae.

The larvae are currently being reared.

From May 18 to the present, by the employees of «FishRPC» LLP (Chiefs of the expedition team Minat A., Karlybayuly S., researcher Zhdanko L.A., acting junior researcher Bakkozha Zh. M., junior researcher Otegen S. A., laboratory assistant Sakharin. N.K.) research work is carried out on the lakes of the Alakol lake system under budget program 021 “Management, ensuring the conservation and development of fish resources”, under subprogram 100 “Ensuring the conservation, reproduction and rational use of fish resources and others aquatic animals”.

The following comprehensive work is being carried out:

🔻 selection and processing of hydrochemical samples, field and laboratory research;

🔻 selection and processing of hydrobiological samples (zooplankton, zoobenthos, phytoplankton, and nektobenthos);

 🔻 sampling of natural reproduction of juvenile fish with fry drag (nonsense);

🔻 ichthyological networks for assessing commercial fish stocks.

During the period of scientific research work on reservoirs, the acting head of the Alakol fish inspection department, Suleimenov N.B., took part.

Research into the Alakol lake system continues.

In accordance with the agreement with the Institute of Geography and Water Security for research work with the State Scientific-Production Enterprise “Burabay” of the UDP of the Republic of Kazakhstan, within the framework of the implementation of the project “Restoration and conservation of the ecosystem of the “Burabay” for 2024-2025″ LLP ” Fisheries Research and Production Center” continues work on collecting materials in 7 reservoirs of the Shchuchinsk-Borovsk resort area.

So, from May 20 to May 27, 2024, employees of the Northern Branch, with the participation of representatives of the head division, took 275 water samples to determine the salt composition, the content of nutrients (ammonium nitrogen, nitrates, nitrites, phosphates), heavy metals (atomic emission analysis), phenolic index, as well as synthetic surfactants (SS). Processing of the collected water samples will be carried out in certified laboratories located in the cities of Karaganda and Almaty.

On May 26, 2024, a meeting was held with students of the Kazakh National Agrarian Research University, during which a researcher at the aquaculture laboratory, Barakov R.T. An introductory tour was conducted at the base of the Kapshagai spawning and breeding farm 1973 LLP. During the excursion, students got acquainted with the main production processes during the incubation campaign, the operating principle of fish farming equipment and mini-installations of closed water supply, as well as the organization of ponds for growing larvae, fingerlings and commercial fish of heat-loving aquaculture objects – carp, grass carp and silver carp.

In accordance with the agreement with the Institute of Geography and Water Security for research work with the State Scientific-Production Enterprise “Burabay” of the UDP of the Republic of Kazakhstan, within the framework of the implementation of the project “Restoration and conservation of the ecosystem of the “Burabay” for 2024-2025″ LLP ” Fisheries Research and Production Center” began field work on the collection of materials and sampling for analysis in the reservoirs of the Shchuchinsk-Borovskoi resort area.”

It is planned to carry out the necessary instrumental measurements and take samples for hydrochemistry, hydrobiology and ichthyology in seven reservoirs of the Shchuchinsk-Borovskoi zone. In accordance with the terms of reference, it is planned to conduct 4 expedition trips at different times of the year with subsequent processing of materials in laboratory conditions and reflection of the research results in the final report.
