Fishery-biological norms and requirements for the design of new and reconstruction of existing fish farms for the cultivation of marketable fish and fish seeding material.

These Fishery-biological norms and requirements determine the procedure for the design (organization) of new and reconstruction of existing full-system fish farms for the cultivation of marketable fish and fish seeding material in ponds, pools, cages of salmon and carp species of fish, fish nurseries, fish hatcheries, pool and cage fish farms for commercial production of salmon and carp fish species. Fishery biological standards and requirements are mandatory for all fish farms, regardless of their form of ownership. The creation, design, construction and re-equipment of full-system fish farms is allowed only in agreement with the authorized state body in the field of veterinary medicine and fisheries. A full-system fish farm should operate on the closed-farm principle. The most suitable sources of water supply in such farms are springs, springs, artesian wells, drainage systems, and, in some cases, mountain rivers and other natural reservoirs with depleted ichthyofauna. The water supply to all nursery ponds, pools and other structures must be independent. It is prohibited to design and build fish farms in protected areas. When designing a full-system fish farm, it prohibited to allow wild fish species to enter the natural habitat of aquaculture fish species, and also to prevent pollution of the surrounding aquatic ecosystem.
