Employees of LLP “Fisheries Research and Production Center”, in accordance with Order No. 66-K dated 08/17/2026, carry out comprehensive research work on the Lower and Middle Kolsai Lakes.

Business trip period: August 18-23, 2026.

The expedition group includes employees of the laboratory of ichthyology and hydroanalytics:

• Bakkozha Zh.M. — head of the expedition team;
• Ablaisanova G.M. — Senior Researcher;
• Utegen S.A. — Junior Researcher;
• Bekturov D.S. — Researcher;
• Sakharin N.K. — the driver.

During the research, ichthyological, hydrobiological and hydrochemical materials are collected, the state of the aquatic ecosystem and the current state of fish resources are assessed.

An important component of the expedition is the study of the hydrochemical state of the aquatic environment. Water samples are taken at various points in reservoirs and the necessary materials are collected to determine the basic physico-chemical parameters.

The study of hydrochemical parameters makes it possible to assess the water quality and the state of the habitat of fish and other aquatic organisms. The data obtained, combined with the results of ichthyological and hydrobiological studies, serve as the basis for a comprehensive assessment of the aquatic ecosystem of the Kolsai Lakes.

Scientific research is carried out within the framework of the 021 program and is aimed at assessing the state of fish stocks, determining fish productivity, as well as developing scientific justifications for the protection and rational use of aquatic biological resources.
