Coastal complex for growing fish planting material for stocking high-eftrophic reservoirs (on the example of the Veselovsky reservoir on the Western Manych River)

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to substantiate the creation and use of drivedriven fish-breeding and reclamation complexes that provide fish-breeding development and biological reclamation of eutrophic water bodies (reservoirs and lakes). The need to create drive-storage fish-breeding and reclamation complexes is determined by the need to involve eutrophied inland water bodies in the fisheries turnover and conduct environmental improvement. One of the typical arid natural-climatic zones is the Veselovsky reservoir on the Western Manych River, the survey of which established the need to clean it from excess vegetation. The measures carried out on the reservoir for the introduction of herbivorous fish do not give results and do not lead to the expected reclamation effect. The main disadvantages of the applied technologies of fish-breeding activities at the reservoir are the use of fish-planting material that is not adapted to the conditions of the stocked water body, as well as a number of technological disadvantages of various processes. To eliminate them, it is proposed to organize the Veselovsky fish-breeding and reclamation complex, which includes a fish hatchery located directly next to it, providing the cultivation of fish-planting material adapted to the conditions of the stocked reservoir using non-contact technology of cultivation and stocking with technical means, and carrying out acclimatization measures. The structure of the fish hatchery provides for the construction of a cascade of outgrowth pools with regulated conditions of the aquatic environment and food regime. The different-height arrangement of fish-breeding pools on the slope section allows for non-contact intra-complex movement of fish and the release of fish-planting material into the acclimatization bay of the stocked reservoir. The maintenance system provides for the gradual rearing of young fish in fish-breeding pools with the most close to the conditions of the stocked reservoir physical and chemical conditions of the habitat and a different ratio in the diet of hydrobionts of artificial and natural food.
