the Republic of Bashkortostan

Bashkortostan

Russian federation

Area of the republic is 14.3 million hectares

Provision of fishery waters in republic is 0.015 hectares per man

Cage and basin fish farms operate in the republic.

The total area in 2011 is 15 thousand square kilometers.

The objects of artificial breeding in fresh water of the republic are the representatives

of 8-10 species of fish and 1 species of crustaceans.

20 species, types and crosses are reared, as well as 10 domesticated forms of carp, salmon, sturgeon, whitefish, cichlid fishes.

Brood stock of breeding fishes of different species (≈7000 goal.) are reared in two fish farms.

The leading position in aquaculture occupied by cyprinid fishes, their annual production is up to 70% of farmed fish.

Modern aquaculture in the Republic of Bashkortostan is developed in the

following areas:

pond pisciculture

the fish productivity in 2011 was about 600 kg / ha

industrial pisciculture

in 2011 about 1000 tons of marketable fishes were grown

recreational aquaculture

extensive fish farming

The aquaculture is represented by four fish farms in the republic

It annually produces 600-800 tons of marketable fishes and 100-150 tons of seeding material.

«Karmanov» fish farm

100-120 tons of marketable fishes and 20-30 tons of seeding material.

The pedigree fish farm «Balyk»

-50-70 tons of marketable products and up to 20 tons of seeding material

The public corporation "Bashkirrybhoz"

-20-25 tons of marketable fishes and up to 15 tons of seeding material.

The experimental farm "Birsk"

An example of the industrial aquaculture is raising fish in the warm waters of the «Kormanov» power plant coolers.

In agricultural farms harvesting of fishes

In the republic tasked to increase the production of marketable fishes

It is planned to grow 3920 thousand pieces of fingerlings and 85,000 thousand larvae of reared fishes

To obtain maximum fish production, conducted careful selection of fish polyculture allows better use of all biological niches of natural potential of water reservoirs.

Currently, besides the traditional objects of polyculture (carp and herbivorous fishes) the composition includes high-value species of sturgeon and salmon, as well as non-traditional species of fish (tench, catfish, ide, vendace, whitefish, zander, rudd, bream, sabrefish, etc.).

As an object of breeding, developed fish farms of the republic, additionally include crayfish.

Organization of production waterfowl, fur-bearing animals, sport fishing and recreational activities improves the economic performance of the fish farm.

Such farms are in almost all areas of the republic, and they bring certain inflow of finance in the budget of the republic.

Previous years have shown that small bodies of water are very profitable, you can organize recreational activities and sport fishing.

The republic has a huge water fund, which provides great opportunities for aquaculture development.

Development of fish breeding industry, state support for aquaculture enable to increase its role in ensuring the population's diet of fish from local waters.
