Belarus revolutionizes aquaculture with sleeker mirror carp breeding
Belarus is expanding its aquaculture sector with a new initiative to breed a more attractive variety of mirror carp. This is a fresh direction for the country, as reported by Alexander Portnoy.
The project aims to improve the appearance of Belarusian mirror carp. Researchers are nearing the completion of the breeding process to achieve this goal.
Currently, Belarusians consume around 8.7 kilograms of fish per person each year. However, only a small fraction, about 1.2 kilograms, is produced domestically. To boost local production, work is underway to develop technologies and cultivation methods for valuable fish species like trout and sturgeon in closed-loop systems.
The development of a more appealing mirror carp variety and the improvement of domestic fish production are significant steps in Belarus' aquaculture sector. These efforts aim to increase the availability of locally grown fish and enhance the country's fish breeding capabilities.
