  • Fish Species Introductions in the Kyrgyz Republic Fish Species Introductions in the Kyrgyz Republic
    ISSN 2070-7010 ISSN 584 FAO FISHERIES AND AQUACULTURE TECHNICAL PAPER 584 Fish species introductions in the Kyrgyz Republic Fish species introductions in the Kyrgyz Republic Kyrgyz the in introductions species Fish The present technical paper analyses the available information on historic fish species introductions in the Kyrgyz Republic and investigates and evaluates experiences, lessons learned and its consequences on the biodiversity of inland waters, inland fisheries and aquaculture production. This technical paper also discusses more suitable and improved practices that can be developed in future fish stocking programmes and to support the management of exotic and indigenous species in inland fisheries and aquaculture. The stocking of whitefish in Lake Son-Kul and Chinese major carps in the Toktogul reservoir can be ! considered successful examples of fish introductions in the Kyrgyz Republic. The ! largest introductions and the most severe negative consequences took place in Lake Issyk Kul. Here, 13 indigenous species, six of which are endemic species, were supplemented by 16 introduced fish species which overtime led to a drastic change of the relative proportions of native to introduced fish species in favour of the latter causing a decline in the ecosystem service of fisheries, affecting livelihoods of many rural poor. Considering the past experiences and lessons learned, this study also outlines a summary of reasons for the present state of fisheries in the Kyrgyz Republic and recommendations for the sector management including management of fish fauna and fishery including commercial and recreational fisheries and aquaculture and research needs. An updated detailed inventory of the water, fisheries and aquaculture resources in the Kyrgyz Republic, including information on the present state and production capacities of fish farming activities and historic fish introductions by water resource is given.
