YEREVAN, JULY 14, ARMENPRESS: Fish breeding continues to remain one
of the developing branches of the economy. Currently 250-255 fish
breeding economies are operating in Armenia.
As fish breeding department of the Ministry of Agriculture briefed

development stage and export process. During the last 2 years lake
fish production volumes have increased about 23%.
24 organizations have permission to export fish to the Russian
Federation from Armenia, the Ministry of Agriculture undertakes steps
to expand the list. In 2011 1500-1600 tons of fish was exported, mainly
sturgeon and trout species, and the great part of which to Russia. If
draw a parallel between 2010 ( 428 tons of fish) and 2011 data , there
is an increase by four times, concerning export volumes to Russia
. Although official data of 2012 are not published, yet in comparison
with the previous year export volumes have substantially increased.
Aimed at developing fish breeding Armenia joined Central Asian and
Caucasus countries' fish breeding international committee in 2011.
This will promote the introduction of modern technologies in fisheries,
the integration of leading international fish breeding institutions
to our Republic and reportedly the launch of joint progrms.
