The Role of Herbivorous Fish in the Reconstruction of Food Ichthyofauna and the Biological Reclamation of Water Bodies (Rol Rastitel Noyadnykh Ryb V Rekonstruktsii Promyslovoy Ikhtiofauny i Biologicheskoy Melioratsii Vodoyemov),
Abstract
The water bodies of Central Asia, including Turkmenia, have always been marked by rather low fish productivity due to their meager bioproductivity. Such low fish productivity was due to the mountainous character of the runoff of Central Asian rivers, carrying primarily snow and ice water which is low in biogenous and organic mater. Even without this, in a significant percentage of the water bodies of Central Asia which had undergone rank overgrowth with aquatic vegetation, the small quantity of nutrient salts that the water contained was not properly utilized for productive purposes, being consumed by aquatic plants. A radical increase in the fish productivity of Central Asian water bodies can be achieved, if the composition of the food ichthyofauna and the food supply are appropriately restructured. In keeping with the most successful realization of these goals were the introduction of herbivorous fish into the food ichthyofauna composition of the water bodies.
