Preliminary causes of death of juvenile fish in the Kapshagai reservoir.

Information about the detection of the death of juvenile fish in the Kapshagai reservoir was initially received on November 2, 2022, and then the next day it was detected in the area of the Ermin recreation center.

According to the results of hydrochemical analysis of water samples, carried out in the laboratory of the “Research and Production Center of Fisheries”, the water in the Kapshagay reservoir is not dangerous for the life of fish in terms of the main indicators.

It should be noted that the cause of death can be both natural factors (lack of oxygen or specific diseases of fish), and the anthropogenic impact of economic activity in the form of pollution of the fish habitat, as well as the mechanical impact of swimming facilities or hydrotechnical structures.
