Modern biotechnologies of an aquaculture–a key element of the innovative development of economy of the Southern Federal District of Russia

Abstract

Development of aquaculture is the important socio-economic factor defining modern development of the fishery industry in corresponding federal districts, including the Southern Federal District. The analysis of the current state of aquaculture of the Southern Federal District is provided and it is shown that development is possible only in case of industrialization of aquaculture and integration into it of relevant scientific and technology solutions (biotechnologies). Cultivation using biotechnology is carried out in the territory of the Southern Federal District by the Southern scientific center RAS at NEB (scientific expedition base) “Kagalnik”. The developed technology meets priorities and perspectives of scientific and technology development of the Russian Federation, allows one to create production being basis of the innovative development of domestic market of products and also steady position of Russia in foreign market. Biotechnology is based on technology of intensive cultivation of fishes and agricultural products in single complex using the biological product stimulating growth of plants. The implementation of technology will allow to achieve the maximum growth of useful products from unit of area. To achieve a transition to highly productive and environmentally friendly agro- and aquaculture in the southern regions of Russia, it is necessary to develop integrated biotechnologies.

Prospects for the development of commercial fish farming in the South of Russia

“…Southern regions of Russia are located in the most favorable for domestic commercial cultivation of aquatic bioresources 5-6 fish farming zones. It is with the South of Russia that further prospects for the development of freshwater and marine aquaculture are largely associated [4][5][6][7].…”
