In the West Kazakhstan region, there is a risk of fish death due to the lack of dissolved oxygen in the water due to the formation of an ice layer in small water bodies.
Inspectors of the Ural-Caspian Inter-basin Fisheries Inspection are carrying out complex work to save fish on behalf of the Fisheries Committee of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan. At the same time, special attention is paid to shallow water bodies.
Despite the relatively warm winter, the ice thickness in many water bodies in the region reaches 40 cm, which poses a threat of mass fish mortality.
Currently: 136,000 wells have been drilled, more than 5,000 cubic meters of oxygen-enriched water have been pumped into the water bodies, 657 people and 167 units of equipment have been mobilized for the work.
Work to prevent fish mortality continues.
