Fisheries occupy a major position in the national economy and their role
is increasing year after year since fish is a source of the proteins essential to
man. The meat of such widely distributed culturable fish as carp, trout,
tench, sander, and vendace contain proteins to the extent of 18.0, 20.8, 17.5,
17.7, and 21.2% respectively. The proteinic matter of fresh fish is assimilated
two to three times better by man than cattle meat.
Since fish oil contains vitamins and is easily assimilated, it too is a
product of great importance. The meat of fish cultured in ponds contains oil
ranging from 0.7% (pike) to 15.0% (peled).
The USSR is fairly rich in fresh-water inland resources: lakes comprise
about 25 million hectares, reservoirs about 5.5 million hectares, and ponds
more than 500,000 hectares. If rice fields and peat quarries are included,
about one million hectares of waterspread become additionally available in
which fish can be effectively raised. With the exploitation of rice fields for
fish rearing, two harvests are obtained—rice and fish.
Many ponds and other water resources can be used for mixed carp-duck
farming with larger profits for both poultry and fisheries. An appropriate
quantitative ratio of duck to fish makes it possible to significantly reduce the
cost of production of duck meat while augmenting fish production.
The area of peat quarries is increasing every year. These areas are
largely inundated with water which, if not used rationally, could cause
secondary swamping with all its attendant adverse effects. The organization
of collective and state fish farms makes it possible not only to improve such
areas through fish culture, but also to obtain a high quality product, namely,
fish.
The efficacy of pond fisheries is confirmed by the following example. To
obtain 75 quintals of meat from 100 hectares of arable land or 16 quintals of
meat from 100 hectares of agricultural holdings a high expenditure is
incurred; to obtain 200 quintals of fish (carp) from 100 hectares of pond area
very little expenditure is required. This quantum of fish can be obtained
because of the natural foods already available in the pond. With a moderate
level of intensification and expenditure on additional feeding and fertilizers,
it is possible to obtain 600 to 1,500 quintals of carp or even more from 100
hectares of pond area.
In the development of pond fisheries in the USSR efforts have been
directed toward increasing productivity of the existing pond area, construc
tion of new ones, and utilization of water in rice fields, irrigation canals, small
and floodland lakes, estuaries, ilmens, bays, and shallows of reservoirs,
peat quarries, waters released from thermal electric stations, sewage purifi
cation plants, and thermal waters. I recommend the construction of fish
ponds in the beds of small rivulets also.
Special attention should be paid to cage fish culture, using cooling
reservoirs and shallow waters of large reservoirs for this purpose.

also played by I.N. Arnold (Figure 7), A.N. Eleonskii (Figure 8), and others
after the October Revolution. Studies were conducted on problems pertinent
to production: determination of standard weight of carp fingerlings (under
yearlings), assessment of fattiness (condition factor) as an index to cold
resistance, development of norms for mixed and additional stocking in a
two-year rotation of carp farming, mixed carp-duck farming, methods of
raising marketable one-summer carp in the southern regions, determi
nation of fundamentals for two-year rotation of carp pond fisheries, deter
mination of conditions for transportation of live fish without water by
air, introduction of new species in pond culture (grass carp, silver carp,
bighead, etc.), development of methods for intensification of pond fisheries,
including formulation of theories on fish feeding and manuring of ponds,
methods of fish rearing in peat ponds, establishment of work norms in pond
fisheries and assessment in terms of man-days, investigation of problems
related to breeding and advancing carp culture in the north, cage culture of
carp, trout, and other species of fish, evaluation of mixed forms of pond
fisheries (carp-duck farming, rice-fish farming), and others.
Placing inputs on a scientific basis in pond culture made it possible to
increase the fish productivity of both state and collective enterprises. How
ever, many problems of pond fisheries have yet to be resolved and hence

marketable stage. This period varies according to the type of pond fishery and
the culture of individual species of pond fish in different climatic conditions.
In warm-water carp culture one-year, two-year, and three-year rotations
are common; three-year rotation is more prevalent in Western Europe.
In the one-year rotation scheme carp is raised to marketable size for 5 to
6 months (fish of one summer), in the two-year rotation for 16 to 17 months
(fish of two summers), and in the three-year rotation marketed after 28 to
29 months (fish of three summers). In the USSR two-year rotation currently
predominates in warm-water carp culture. In cold-water trout culture
(with rainbow trout), two-year rotation has been adopted in the USSR and
in most other countries.
The adoption of one or the other type of rotation in pond fisheries
depends on the biological peculiarities of the fish, climatic conditions, level of
fishery engineering, demand of consumers for certain size of carp, and so on.
Finally, pond fisheries are categorized on the basis of their operational
organization as extensive, semi-intensive, and intensive. Usually the extensive
type entails raising fish only on the natural foods available in the pond.
However, in the present work this concept of extensive fish farming should
be considered conditional, since even in the so-called extensive pond fisheries
elements of intensification have already been included. This is to say that
man interacts with nature by constructing special ponds for each age group,
rearing fish from eggs up to marketable size, selecting brood stock carefully,
improving the breeds of culturable species, draining of ponds, and so on.
All these features impart properties to an extensive fish farm which reflect a
more organized or cultured type. In other words, the so-called extensive fish
farm is really the simplest form of intensification of pond fishery. The
production of extensive fish farms is generally less but can be increased by
rational use of the pond area.
As the base of extensive fish farms, the presently existing intensive fish
farms should be universally extended since these units make it possible to
significantly increase the production of marketable fish. In this type of
management the inputs (feeding of fish, pond fertilizers, etc.) are intensified
not randomly, but systematically. As a result of these measures, either
coordinated or isolated, it is possible to increase the yield of fish per unit area
of pond several times compared to yields obtained under extensive fish farms.
The semi-intensive type of fish farming is a transitional phase between
extensive and intensive. In such farming, in addition to natural foods, the
fish are periodically given artificial feed and the ponds partial fertilizer
applications. The quantity of fish stocked for rearing is slightly higher in
accordance with the quantity of periodic inputs—food and fertilizers. The
purpose behind the periodic introduction of these inputs is not only to
increase the quantity of fish stocked but also to increase the individual
weight of the fish reared.
