The juvenile fishes are then sold to private entrepreneurs at an agreed price. The number of the juvenile fishes necessary for breeding remains in the reservoirs, the rest is released into the Sarykamysh and Aybovur lakes, controlled by the Ak Durna IE under the leadership of Shamyradov.
Ak Durna enterprise presently breeds 10 tons of fry and 5-6 tons of adult fishes annually in its reservoirs.
