This overview report provides insights intothe internal reserves of aquaculture production in Russia, China and Kazakhstan, highlighting their potential in ensuring sustainable production of environmentally friendly commer-cial fish products. China, for instance, currently produces 72 million tons of hydrobionts annually, accounting for 56.7% of the global aquaculture production in 2022. On the other hand, Russia’s current production level remains modest, representing only 0.53% of China’s output. The report emphasizes the importance of implementing a conservation strategy that promotes organic aquaculture practices within inland waters. This approach aims to ensure compliance with environmental regulations while transitioning towards fish production. It emphasizes the need for common approaches and self-regulating technologies in balanced and sustainable aquaculture, prioritizing the conservation and restoration of natural resources. Furthermore, the report delves into the specific challenges and prospects of semiarid aquaculture in southeastern China, as well as the Caspian regions of Russia and Kazakhstan. These are as share similar agro-climatic conditions f for inland reservoirs. The report underscores the potential of utilizing agricultural lands for the development of organic aquaculture, emphasizing environmentally friendly production practices and high fish productivity. Organic aquaculture is portrayed as an adaptive and sustainable form of nature management. It aims to enhance agricultural production, increase productivity, and preserve the ecological balance of water resources in semiarid territories. Moreover, it highlights the economic feasibility of organic aquaculture, making it accessible to fish farmers and fisheries industry professionals alike.
