Abstract

According to the «Strategy for the Development of the Fisheries Industry of the Russian Federation for the Period up to 2030», in regions that do not have access to the sea, commercial fish farming should become a priority in the development of their fishery complexes. Among these regions is the Kirov region, which has almost a century of experience in the development of aquaculture. Purpose. The purpose of the research was to study the current state, the problems and the prospects for sustainable development of commercial aquaculture in the Kirov region. Materials and methods. Data for this study were collected from the state bodies’ reports on the development of the fish industry of the Kirov region over the past twenty years, as well as from periodicals with the application of statistical and monographic methods of analysis to them. Results. The results of the study show that the current state of the commercial fish farming industry in the Kirov region can be characterized as a crisis. At the same time, it has great potential, which still remains untapped. The problems that hinder the development of aquaculture in the region have been identified. The social significance of aquaculture for the development of rural areas of the Kirov region is noted. With the aim of developing aquaculture, the necessity of developing new methods and non-traditional solutions was substantiated to ensure a progressive increase in the production of high-quality marketable fish products. Conclusion. In short, high-tech aquaculture can contribute to the socio-economic development of the Kirov region and to the improvement of the quality of life of its population. This task will be realized if private interest in the development of this industry is reinforced in the form of favorable conditions on the part of the state.
