PROSPECTS FOR THE INTRODUCTION OF LAKE AND COMMERCIAL FISH FARMING IN THE CONDITIONS OF LAKE TOMAI

Abstract

This research has is funded by the Ministry of Ecology, Geology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Kazakhstan (Grant No. BP10264236). At present, an increase in the volume of commercial fish products in inland waters of many countries by involving small and large lakes in the fishery turnover for growing and selling commercial fish is very reasonable. In the context of the accelerated development of aquaculture, the practice of using water bodies for the development of fisheries is widespread. For this, biological justifications are developed, water bodies for various purposes are certified, recommendations are issued for the successful operation of water bodies. In this regard, as a model object, we considered the possibility of introducing lake-commodity fish farming on Lake Tomai. To obtain objective data on the reservoir, a comprehensive scientific study was carried out after which results were obtained on the species composition of the food base, hydrochemical and hydrological parameters of the water, and the ichthyofauna of the reservoir. The article provides material on the abundance of zooplankton and benthos, as well as the biological indicators of the main representatives of the fish species of Lake Tomai. For the effective use of the Tomai reservoir as a lake-commodity fish farming, recommendations are proposed on the need to perform certain types of reclamation work.
