On July 22, 2022, a regular meeting of the Zoological Commission was held at the Committee of Fisheries.
During the meeting, the commission recommended the withdrawal of kutum fish from the List of the Endangered, Vulnerable, and Threatened Animals. Members of the zoological commission from “RPC of Fisheries” LLP included CEO Isbekov Kuanysh Baibolatovich and director of the Northern branch Shutkaraev Azis Vasilyevich.
Amphipod is one of the most common crustaceans and is found in many reservoirs of Kazakhstan. Some of them inhabit the bottom layers of water, others are buried in the ground, creating their own significant accumulations. These crustaceans are a favorite food of benthivorous and some predatory fish species. Therefore, amphipods are often used as an object of acclimatization work in order to increase the production potential of water reservoirs.
Amphipods, or heteropods (lat. Amphipoda), are a detachment of higher crayfish from the superorder Peracarida. About 9,000 species are known, they are distributed in the benthos of the seas and fresh water bodies around the world. Amphipods are actively involved in the process of cleaning water bodies, feeding on both plant and animal remains. At the same time, they can significantly spoil the catch of fishermen by nibbling on fish caught in the nets.
Today, the employees of the main department carry out transportation and domestication of Kapshagai ship sturgeons on the basis of the Balkhash branch of the “RPC of Fisheries” LLP. The following persons take part in the work:Doctor of Sciences in Biology, Deputy CEO Asylbekova S.Zh., Director of the Balkhash Branch Kumataev E.E., Head of the Laboratory of Aquaculture Abilov B.I. and researcher of the Balkhash branch, fish farmer Makhmetov I.S.
The work is carried out within the task of the scientific and technical program «The study of populations of rare and endangered fish species and alien hydrobionts in order to develop recommendations for the artificial reproduction of rare species and the prevention of the spread of alien species of fish and other hydrobionts».
For the purpose of getting acquainted with the process of implementation of PCF projects: “The study of populations of rare and endangered fish species and alien hydrobionts on purpose to develop recommendations for the artificial reproduction of rare species and the prevention of the spread of alien species of fish and other hydrobionts” and “Development and implementation of technology for the formation of a replacement brood stock of markakol lenok on purpose to preserve biodiversity and develop aquaculture”, the employees of the Altai branch of the “RPC of fisheries” LLP held a meeting on the base of “OstFish” LLP.
During the meeting, the employees of the Altai Branch spoke in detail about the technology of artificial reproduction of the siberian sturgeon, introduced the first results of the reproduction of the siberian sturgeon and the process of domestication of the markakol lenok (uskuch) on purpose to formation of the replacement brood stock.
Congratulations on the day of fish workers!
The expedition team of the laboratory of ichthyology of the head unit of the “RPC of Fisheries” LLP together with the staff of the Balkash-Alakol interregional basin inspection of fisheries continues science research work on control fishing in the Kapshagay reservoir, in order to determine the catchability and selectivity of traditional (kapron, nylon) nets and nets made of monofilament and monofibers.
Vice Minister of Ecology, Geology and Natural Resources Shalabekova A.L. congratulated all workers of the fishery industry on their professional holiday “Day of the Fisheries Worker” and presented awards.
The chief scientific secretary of “RPC of Fisheries” LLP, Mukhramova Alena Alexandrovna was awarded a Certificate of Honor, and the senior researcher of the Northern Branch Kirichenko Olga Ivanovna was awarded the badge “Balyk sharuashylygy salasyndagy minsiz kyzmetі ushіn”, personally by the vice minister.
Also, the director of the Altai branch Aubakirov Baurzhan Sovetovich, the head of the aquaculture laboratory of the main unit Abilov Berdibek Ibragimovich, the head of the laboratory of hydrobiology and hydroanalysis of the main unit Mazhibayeva Zhanara Omirbekovna, senior researcher of the Atyrau branch Tasmaganbet Arepbayevich Uteuliev, senior researcher of the ichthyology laboratory of the main unit Ablaisanova Gulmira Mukhambetkalievna was awarded with certificates of honor.
Leading researcher of the laboratory of ichthyology of the main unit Ismukhanov Khismet Kuspanovich and veteran of the Atyrau branch Elena Borisovna Bokova were awarded the honorary title “Balyk sharuashylygy salasynda enbek sinirgen kyzmetker”.
Senior researcher of the laboratory of ichthyology of the main unit Danko Elena Konstantinovna and head of the scientific stronghold of Karaganda city Krainyuk Vladimir Nikolaevich were awarded the badge “Balyk sharuashylygy salasyndagy minsiz kyzmetі ushіn”.
Congratulations to our dear colleagues on their professional holiday and worthy awards!
The head division of the “RPC of Fisheries” LLP sincerely congratulates the staff of the Altai branch on the 70th anniversary!
Since the formation of the Altai branch in 1951 and up to the present time, it has been annually carrying out fisheries research in the reservoirs of the East Kazakhstan and Pavlodar regions, and in the 70-80s of the last century, the field of activity of the Altai branch also included reservoirs of Northern and Southern Kazakhstan. It was then that the foundations for the development of fish protection measures were laid in the southern reservoirs to protect juvenile of fish from getting into water intake facilities.
At present, the Altai branch is doing complex fisheries research throughout the Yertis basin, and is productively developing technology for the artificial reproduction of rare and endemic fish species, thanks to which the protection, reproduction and use of fish resources in this basin is effectively carried out.
The path that the Altai branch has traveled for 70 years – this is years of hard work, scientific and creative research, well-deserved recognition of scientific achievements and successful practical activities of the team.
We wish the staff of the Altai Branch inspiration in solving difficult problems at the intersection of science and practice, professional success, new victories and achievements!
In the period from June 19 to June 30, 2022, the expeditionary squad under leadership of the head of the scientific stronghold of the “RPC of Fisheries” LLP in Karaganda, Krainyuk V.N. carried out a trip to the reservoirs of the state national natural parks “Kokshetau” and “Burabay”, as part of the implementation of BP-256 SP 102.
As a result of the trips, materials were collected and samples were taken to determine the male and age structure of the ichthyofauna of the food base reservoirs, the biochemical composition of the water, as well as the condition of the general and commercial stock of fish populations and other hydrobionts.
