Small reservoirs of southern Ukraine as potential sites for sustainable development of fish farming

Abstract

Consideration of small reservoirs of southern Ukraine from the point of view of fishery exploitation is quite relevant today. Despite the fact that this type of artificial reservoirs have some problems and limitations that affect their fishery potential, they can still be used for fishery management. The main reason for the high relevance of fishery exploitation of small reservoirs of southern Ukraine is that fishery management on these reservoirs will help to solve a number of problems at once. First, to ensure the food security of our state, while providing the population with high-quality fish products; solve the problem of overfishing of fish from natural water bodies. Secondly, fish farming on small reservoirs will significantly help increase the total amount of fish farming in Ukraine, which in the future may have a positive economic effect for the state. It should be said that the development of fish farming on small reservoirs in the near future may become one of the important components of the development of fisheries in Ukraine.
