The project covers the entire life cycle of fish—from eggs and fry to the final product.
According to information from specialized agencies, to date:
- monitoring of stocking and movement of eggs, fry, and mature individuals has been established;
- traceability of fish products has been ensured;
- fish farms have been identified, and their data has been entered into the Animal Identification and Tracking Information System (AIS ITIS).
Plans for 2026–2027 include the implementation of full control over the movement of fish and fish products through the AIS ITIS. Each element of the system will be developed in stages, undergo pilot testing, and then be implemented in other regions of the country.
The work is being carried out by the Veterinary Service for Animal Husbandry, Pastures, and Feed as part of the project "Improving the Safety of Animal-Origin Food through the Creation of a Comprehensive Intelligent System for the Identification and Tracking of Animals in the Kyrgyz Republic," funded by the Republic of Korea. The project is set to be completed by the end of 2026.
The Korean side has supported the initiative to create a module for group identification of fish, which will also allow for the tracking of finished products.
It is expected that the new system will help:
- increase transparency and manageability in the fishery sector;
- reduce the volume of illegal fish and fish product turnover;
- improve the investment climate in aquaculture;
- provide the population with higher quality and safer fish products.
