“We plan out to build a new sturgeon hatchery of 30 million hatchlings per year capacity,” Akylbek Kurishbayev, Minister of Agriculture of Kazakhstan, said at the meeting held on Thursday in Uralsk (WKO administrative centre).
Participating in the meeting were Prime Minister Karim Masimov of Kazakhstan and representatives of a number of regions of Russia.
A. Kurishbayev appealed to the Head of the Government to support the project and to consider allocating funds to develop feasibility studies.
In his due turn, Minister of Environment Protection Nurgali Ashimov participating in the meeting proposed that the hatchery be built on WKO territory. “Traditionally, sturgeon spawning grounds were in the middle reaches of the Ural River, and therefore I consider it expedient to build the hatchery in West Kazakhstan Oblast,” said he.
