On scientific support for the development of fisheries

Yesterday, 11/14/2022, during the Government Hour in the Mazhilis of the Parliament of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Minister of Ecology Serikkali Amangalievich Brekeshev spoke about measures to develop the fish industry in the republic.

“The main task of the industry is to increase domestic consumption of fish, as well as further increase the export potential and import substitution, through the development of marine fisheries and the development of commercial fish farming,” the minister said in his report.

It should be noted that the issues of fisheries are under special control of the Head of State and the Government.

At a meeting with the public of the Mangistau and Atyrau regions (November 7-8, 2022), the head of state called the development of fisheries, an increase in the population of sturgeon breeds and, in general, the preservation of the ecological balance and biodiversity of the Caspian Sea, where cases of mass death of fish and seals have become more important. And he noted that a comprehensive scientific approach is needed in this important issue.

In his speech, the General Director of LLP “RPC of Fisheries”, Isbekov Kuanysh Baibolatovich proposed scientifically based solutions to the above issues:

  • expand the range of research work, in particular, it is necessary to study diseases of fish and other aquatic animals in natural reservoirs and aquaculture farms;
  • to strengthen the staff, for this it is necessary to increase the allocated grants for the training of doctors of philosophy (PhD) in the field of fisheries.
