FISHERIES:
Thanks to the implementation of the project for the conservation of the northern part of the Aral Sea, initiated by the Head of State, the fishing industry of the Aral Sea region has risen to a new level of development and continues to develop dynamically.
207 lakes and the Small Aral Sea of fishery significance are registered in the region.
Currently, there are 26 lakes in reserve.
To date, 18 species of fish are caught in the region.
There are 9 fish processing plants with a capacity of 12.5 thousand tons per year in the region.
At 4 plants there is a "Eurocode" confirming compliance with European quality standards.
For 12 months of 2020, 8,362 tons of fish were caught in the region, which is 18% more than in the same period last year (2019-6,898 tons).
In addition, for 12 months of 2020, 4302.9 tons of products were exported to 9 foreign countries, which increased by 2% compared to the same period last year (2019 – 4220 tons).
Fish products are exported to Russia, Germany, Poland, Georgia, Lithuania, China, Netherlands, Czech Republic, Belarus.
The main types of exported fish are: ram, roach, perch, pike, walleye and mixed fish. Processed products in the form of pike perch fillets, taranja pilafs, minced fish, fish fillets, frozen fish and fish meal are exported from them.
In 2019, there were 10 lake-commodity fish farms in the region, and in 2020 their number reached 19.
Last year, these farms raised and put on the market 144 tons of fish, and in 2020 this pokzatel is brought to 155 tons.
By 2030, it is planned to increase the volume of commercial fish products to 16 thousand tons.
In this regard, on October 30, 2020, the regional akimat approved the regional program for the development of fisheries for 2021-2030.
In addition, measures were taken to save the remaining fish fry in the rice fields.
For example, since August 27, 2020, measures have been taken to save fish fry, during which 8.3 million fry left in the rice fields of the region were rescued and released into the water.
