Work continues on the implementation of the tasks of the targeted financing program project: Genetic certification of the breeding stock of valuable, endemic species of fish and invertebrate aquatic organisms – potential objects of aquaculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan” sampling for genetic certification of the Aral barbel (Luciobarbus brachycephalus).

At the same time, on the basis of the Republican State Treasury Enterprise “Kamyshlybashsky fish nursery”, work was carried out on the chipping of barbel individuals.

Microchips are carriers of a unique digital code and provide error-free identification of individuals and are activated only in the electromagnetic field of the scanner. Capsules of all microchips are made of biocompatible materials, eliminating the possibility of inflammation or rejection of the chip after administration. The microchip is a sterile disposable injector with a removable needle.

The work carried out will have an auxiliary role in the bonification of fish.
