Restoration of the disturbed natural hydrological regime of the fish-breeding channel Kazachy Yerik within the framework of fishery reclamation

Abstract

Intensive economic use of small rivers and channel water bodies leads to their pollution and siltation. The anthropogenic impact on aquatic ecosystems negatively affects the state of the fish industry, which leads to a reduction in the spawning fund, deterioration of the conditions for reproduction and survival of juveniles. Violation of the existing conditions for the habitat and reproduction of aquatic organisms leads to a decrease in the productivity of water bodies and the loss of their fishery value. The inflow from the catchment area of solid and liquid runoff containing organic matter, oil products and other impurities of anthropogenic and technogenic origin leads to irreversible entry, siltation and shallowing of small rivers and channel water bodies. The restoration of the disturbed hydrological regime of water bodies by means of reclamation works contributes to the restoration of natural spawning grounds for commercial fish species, an increase in yield and productivity.
