Commercialization project:«Artificial reproduction and cultivation of wild carp fish planting material for the purpose of its further implementation for the stocking of natural reservoirs of the Republic of Kazakhstan.»

Purpose: The purpose of the project is to organize a pond fish farming for the artificial reproduction, cultivation and sale of wild carp planting material for stocking natural reservoirs

Tasks:

– to create a production site for pond cultivation of wild carp fingerlings;

– organize work on obtaining wild carp larvae and their rearing to the stage of undergrown juveniles; 

– organize work on the cultivation of wild carp fingerlings from undergrown juveniles;

– to work out the technology of transporting wild carp fish planting material over long distances to the place of release;

– organize the sale of final products (wild carp fingerlings);

– to create a genetically polymorphic repair and breeding stock of wild carp in a fish farming environment;

– genetic certification of wild carp producers in the RMS

– prepare and apply for a patent on the method of rearing young and juvenile wild carp in ponds, on the technology of transporting wild carp planting material over long distances to the place of release, on the formation of a repair and breeding stock of wild carp in a fish farm; 

– to hold seminars with agricultural producers on the technology of growing wild carp planting material in fish farming conditions;

– prepare promotional materials for products, price lists, presentation materials;

– to create a production site for pond cultivation of wild carp fingerlings;

– prepare and publish scientific and promotional articles, take part in international conferences and  exhibitions on the technology of growing fingerlings of valuable fish species in fish farms.

Project location: Kapshagai Spawning and Growing Farm-1973 LLP (since 2018), Bukhtarma Spawning and Growing Farm LLP (since 2022)

– the technology of transporting wild carp fish planting material over long distances to the place of release will be worked out;

– the sale of final products (wild carp fingerlings) will be organized;

– a genetically polymorphic repair and breeding herd of wild carp will be created in the conditions of a fish farm;

– genetic certification of wild carp producers in the Republic of Kazakhstanwill be carried out

– a patent application will be prepared and filed on the method of rearing wild carp juveniles and fingerlings in ponds, on the technology of transporting wild carp planting material over long distances to the place of release, on the formation of a repair and breeding stock of wild carp in a fish farm;

– seminars will be held with agricultural producers on the technology of growing wild carp planting material in fish farming conditions;

– prepare promotional materials for products, price lists, presentation materials;

– a production site for pond cultivation of wild carp fingerlings will be created.

The results obtained in 2018: The purchase of equipment and materials for the work was carried out, the preparation of a heating pond was carried out to ensure the supply of high-quality water to the incubation shop.

The results obtained in 2019: Work was carried out on the preparation of pond areas for the cultivation of fingerlings and the maintenance of RBS wild carp. A production site for pond cultivation of wild carp fingerlings has been created. The harvesting of wild carp producers was carried out at the ALS (Alakol lake system), the caught wild carp specimens were transported to the incubation workshop of Kapshagai Spawning and Growing Farm-1973LLP, adapted to the conditions of the workshop and then to the conditions of ponds. Carp fingerlings have been grown and sold. A patent for utility model No. 4232 “An improved pond for growing early wild carp juveniles” was obtained.

The results obtained in 2021: Harvesting of carp producers was carried out at the ALS (Alakol lake system), the caught wild carp specimens were transported to the incubation workshop of Kapshagai Spawning and Growing Farm-1973LLP, adapted to the conditions of the workshop and then to the conditions of ponds. A repair and breeding herd (RBS) of wild carp was formed from individuals caught in 2019 and 2021. Wild carp fingerlings have been grown and sold. A seminar was held in order to promote the project on the topic “Pond cultivation of wild carp planting material”. Patents for utility model No. 4968 “Improved removable container for transporting live wild carp juveniles” and No. 5221 “Improved method for growing wild carp fingerlings in ponds” were obtained.

The results obtained in 2022: Genetic studies of the individuals of the RBS wild carp were carried out, the polymorphism of the individuals of the RBS wild carp was evaluated. A spawning campaign was carried out from imported wild carp producers, wild carp larvae were obtained. The resulting larvae were buried in prepared ponds, wild carp fingerlings were grown and sold. Genetic studies have been carried out and genetic passports for the carp’s RBS have been developed. A seminar was held in order to promote the project on the topic “Technologies for the formation of wild carp RBS in pond farming conditions”. A patent for utility model No. 7547 dated 10/28/2022 “A method for forming a repair and breeding stock of wild carp in a fish farm” was obtained. At Bukhtarma Spawning and Growing Farm LLP: In 2022, wild carp producers from the ALS were imported.
