The Atyrau branch of the RPC of Fishery LLP – is a subsidiary of the head of the Institute of the RPC of Fishery LLP in Almaty and the country’s only academic institution that develop biological basis of total allowable catches of bioresources of Ural-Caspian basin. Implementing the program of basic and applied research for the scientific support agribusiness development branch successfully conducts research in all fisheries waters of the Ural-Caspian basin. The primary goals of the branch for 50 years is the study of biological resources, stock and reproduction, forecasting production of commercial fish.
During the study period 1964 -2015. researchers of the branch of environmental monitoring is carried out in the district. Ural, r.Kigach and the Caspian Sea with a view to the systematic study of hydrology, hydrochemistry, toxicology, forage fish, fish food, fish fauna, as well as the development of practical measures and recommendations to reduce the adverse effects of human activities. In all years, and so far focused on the conservation of sturgeons. Annually, there are observations of the distribution and the formation of the sturgeon and semi-fish species, their specific structure, feeding conditions. It determined by the dynamics of the spawning run manufacturers of commercial fish in the river. Ural, evaluated the effectiveness of natural reproduction of sturgeons and semi-migratory fish.
• Using the results of fundamental and applied research in the last 30 years, researchers of the Atyrau branch carried out the following activities:
