Work on white amur reproduction is underway

On the basis of the Bukhtarma Spawning and Growing Farm LLP, together with the Scientific and Production Center of Fisheries LLP, Work on white amur (Ctenopharyngodon idella) reproduction is underway, as part of the commercialization project for 2022-2024.

The aim of the project is to organize a fish-breeding process for the artificial reproduction, cultivation and sale of white amur fish-planting material on a pond farm in order to stock natural reservoirs.

The implementation of this project solves the problems of obtaining white amur’s own planting material on farms located in II-III fish breeding zones (East Kazakhstan region), adapted to natural and climatic conditions, for stocking natural reservoirs.

Currently, artificial reproduction of amur by the factory method has been carried out, larvae have been obtained and their stocking in ponds has been carried out. White Amur fingerlings will be grown in polyculture with carp and  its’s also possible to be grown monoculture. It is planned to grow 300 thousand white Amur fingerlings.

Also, within the framework of the project “Development and implementation of industrial technologies for growing promising fish farming facilities and invertebrate hydrobionts in fish farming enterprises”, work is being carried out on the introduction of pike reproduction technology (Esox Lucius) in the industrial conditions of Bukhtarma spawning farms LLP. In the spring, work was carried out on the procurement of spawners, the reproduction of pike and the rearing of juvenile pike in the RAS. Work continues.
