In the Balkhash branch of LLP «Fisheries Research and Production Center», during 03.07.2023 – 06.07.2023 period, a seminar on the accreditation of the testing center is held. Head of the Testing Center of LLP «Fisheries Research and Production Center» Aitkalieva A.A., familiarized with the requirements of standarts ISO/IEC 17025-2019 “General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories”. Within the framework of the seminar, the laboratory equipment is checked, the documents of the management system are in compliance, and internal audit is being prepared. The seminar is attended by, Head of the hydroanalytics laboratory Dolgopolova S.Y., researcher of the Atyrau branch Samatova A.S.  and employees of the Balkhash branch.

From June 19 to 25, a scientific workshop was held at SPK Khamit’s aquaculture training centre, FISH SCHOOL, for entrepreneurs and fish farmers on the subject of “Technologies for farming and processing valuable fish species”.

Within the framework of Memorandum of Cooperation, signed between agricultural production cooperative “Khamit” and “Scientific Production Center of Fishery” LLP seminar was conducted by scientific officer of aquaculture laboratory of “Scientific Production Center of Fishery” LLP Umirtayeva A.U.

In the course of seminar listeners got acquainted with traditional technologies of cultivation of valuable species of fish in conditions of fish farms of Kazakhstan, with innovative technologies of cultivation of perspective objects of aquaculture, and also with measures of state support for development of small and average business in fish industry of Kazakhstan. 

Training on preparation of business plans was conducted. Practical training took place on pond farm “Khamit” agricultural production cooperative, cage farm “Vita” LLP, in lake-commodity fish farm “Sultan”, on basin farm IP “Baiterek” and on fish-processing plant agricultural production cooperative “Khamit”.

Due to the agreement of LLP “Fisheries Research and Production Center” with LLP “Research and Production Center of Microbiology and Virology” on the basis of project “Development of a domestic probiotic drug cuzing increase the resistance and productivity of valuable fish species in aquaculture” on the basis of LLP “Kapchagai spawning farm-1973”, studies are continuing to assess the effectiveness of the effect of the developed domestic probiotic drug on fish-biological indicators of trout. The final catch was carried out and measurements were taken from trout grown in the pools by scientific staff of the aquaculture laboratory of LLP “Fisheries Research and Production Center” Badryzlova N.S., Barakov R.T. and Khalelov A.T. in LLP “Kapchagai spawning farm-1973”.

During the implementation of the Targeted funding program project “Development and implementation of industrial technologies for growing promising fish farming facilities and invertebrate hydrobionts in conditions of fish farming enterprises”, another control catch of jade perch grown in Yeisk-type trays using pond water was carried out at the fish breeding site in LLP “Kapchagai spawning farm-1973”.

The Targeted funding program – natural resources  (2021-2023) work is on progress. In the areas of “Bumps” and “Small Dam” of the Zhaiyk River, the analysis of the sturgeon juvenile sturgeon is carried out to further determine the effectiveness of natural reproduction of sturgeon.

Every day (from June 1 to July 1 this year), scientists of the Atyrau branch, G.G. Zhunusova and N.N. Batyrbek conduct trawling to catch juvenile sturgeon. They have been recorded in small numbers of stingrays of sterlet larvae and young sevryuga.

Considering that the stocking of artificial young sturgeon fish from the Atyrau sturgeon hatchery has not yet been carried out, we assume that the caught juveniles are “wild”, i.e. the offspring of sturgeon from natural reproduction

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

Work continues.

Since May 25, 2023, the Kapshagai expeditionary detachment consisting of: Makambetov S.Zh., Ismukhanov H.K., Igilik R. have been conducting research on control trap at the Kapshagai reservoir in order to determine the catchability and selectivity of nylon (permitted) nets and synthetic nets of monofilaments and monofilament. The work is being carried out within the framework of the budget program on forecast topics (256-102-159).

To date, 15 network stops have been carried out on the Kapshagai reservoir by different networks, including nylon networks (5 network stops), monofilament networks (0.25 mm thick) and monofilament networks (0.30 mm thick) for 5 network stops.

The chief specialist of the department of Kapshagai fish inspection of Balkhash-Alakol inter-regional basin inspection of fisheries Samsybaev E. participates in the work and registration of relevant acts.

Work continues.

On the 8th of June 2023, in the Balkhash branch of LLP «Fisheries Research and Production Center»  was a meeting held between Deputy General Director Asylbekova S.Zh., director of the Balkhash branch E.E. Kumataeva,  the head of the Balkhash-Alakol Interregional Basin Fisheries Inspectorate Abibekov D.E. and fishermen of the Aktogay district.  There was conversation on the issues of work to determine the similarities and differences in the catch and selectivity of traditional fishing gear (nylon nets) and fishing gear made of synthetic monofilaments and monofilament. Research work within the framework of the control fishing continues.
