Abstract:

The forest-steppe zone of the West Siberian Plain is one of the most productive regions in terms of the traditional grain agriculture and meat and dairy cattle breeding. The optimization of food production in the Russian regions raises the importance of the data on the actual productivity of specific territories and landscape-ecological systems in creating optimal conditions for creating the “production ecosystems” on self-renewable food supply base for human food. In this regard, it seems objective to involve large-scale involvement in the natural constantly renewed food reserve of numerous lakes in a vast region for the production of valuable fish and the provision of food for the population in a vast region.

This article, based on the constant scientific and analytical monitoring, presents the data of modern practice of the advanced fish farms of the Tyumen, Chelyabinsk, and Kurgan Regions on the introduction of scientifically based technologies that increase the yield of commercial fish by 5-10 times compared with the traditional fishery of local fish. This, in its turn, is a factor of industrialization of domestic pasture aquaculture on a vast territory — from the Urals to the Yenisei, where it is possible to organize the production of valuable fish to 130-150 tons per year.
