Astrakhan. As bred sturgeon

Writes Sergey Dolya:
I found pictures of sturgeon farm in Astrakhan. In 2011, there was Marat, made a lot of shots, but before writing the post did not reach his hands. And now, after a reportage about the poachers would be appropriate to talk about this.

Thus, the center of "BIOS" - a division of the Caspian Research Institute of Fisheries, the farm, which bred sturgeon. In the center is a production complex: incubators, basin plant with the installation of a closed water supply pond shop, the production of live food, scientific and experimental complex at the molecular genetic studies, and more. The "BIOS" is the state order for the production and release of sturgeon in the sea. To do this, even developed its own technology, which improves the survival rate of fish 30 times, compared with the standard procedure. Since 2008 the center has been released about 2 million juveniles of beluga and Russian sturgeon ...

The complex is located in the village of Ikryanoe Astrakhan region:



Visitors are greeted by a stand dedicated to the arrival of the complex Vladimir Putin. I recall, during the visit of President kissed sturgeon:



Wharf, from which release sturgeon into the sea:



In these "baths" deliver individuals from the complex to the big water:



Produce is usually large fish, weighing up to 200 grams. These sturgeon take root in 30 percent of cases, as opposed to fry survival rates ranging from one hundred percent:



Sturgeon from the "bath" take out the nets and then placed in special barrels connected to a ship on the water. On that trip I was with my son and we released a few fishes. Now, perhaps, on the Caspian Sea sturgeon swim our (unless, of course, they did not break the heroes of the last post):



The ship is called a "slot" - a boat with a large displacement and "leaky" central section. Sturgeons are there in a natural aquarium and delivered to the place of "release" in the sea:



And it - he "BIOS", the shop where bred sturgeon. "Spa" stand in rows on the age and species. At the heart of the pure bred 7 species (beluga, Russian and Siberian sturgeon, sturgeon, thorn, paddlefish) and 4 hybrid forms for scientific purposes:



Currently the center is the largest sturgeon hatcheries in the country. Russian and foreign sector become fertilized eggs for further breeding:



At the "BIOS" there are some shops to supply the entire complex. Sturgeon is very demanding on the quality of water, so it passes constant cleaning:

"BIOS" also develops special feed for sturgeon food:

Paddlefish - sturgeon species, imported to us from America. In recent years become a popular aquarium views:



And this is the pond broodstock - huge adult sturgeon caviar that supply the entire center. Marat indicates the diameter of single fish



In addition, the center has a themed museum, and the production of regularly invited to school trips:

However, the picture is still bleak out. It turns out, the state pays a lot of money to replenish the stock of sturgeon poachers and remittance work and the work of scientists in their own benefit ...
