The Department of Fisheries has announced the completion of an important stage in the artificial reproduction of fish stocks in the water bodies of Kyrgyzstan for the years 2025–2026.
According to information from the Ministry of Agriculture, all work was successfully carried out by the state enterprise "Son-Kul Fish Farm".
In accordance with the approved plan, which was coordinated with the Institute of Biology of the National Academy of Sciences of the Kyrgyz Republic, the incubation of the eggs was carried out in the incubation workshop located in the village of Epkin in the Kochkor district.
6.5 million omul eggs were placed in special Weiss apparatuses, which will create opportunities for further rearing of juveniles and their subsequent release into the country's water bodies.
The department emphasizes that artificial reproduction contributes to the preservation and increase of populations of valuable fish, the restoration of natural resources, and the maintenance of ecological balance in water bodies. These activities are also aimed at increasing fish production volumes in the medium term.
The program is aimed at expanding the biological potential of the fish sector and strengthening the stable operation of state fish farming enterprises.
For reference: Artificial reproduction is a key tool for the effective use of water resources and ensuring environmental safety. Experts believe that the implementation of this program will significantly increase the fish population in the water bodies and lakes of Kyrgyzstan.
