The ‘Elin Balyk’ fishery is completing a seven-month cycle of farming the first batch of Rosenberg king prawns. This ambitious project, which began with the import of tiny larvae from Thailand, is now showing impressive results - about one million individuals, each reaching 30 cm in length. This is reported by the online publication ‘Turkmenistan: Golden age’.

In addition to shrimp, the farm successfully breeds tilapia, African catfish and sturgeon using modern aquaculture methods. Particular attention is paid to the quality of water from the Karakum River, which undergoes multi-stage treatment, and specially developed feed enriched with vitamins and minerals.

The company's immediate plans are not only to saturate the domestic market, but also to enter the international market. The first batch of farmed shrimp will soon go on sale, which will be an important event for gourmets and restaurateurs in Turkmenistan. At the same time, work is continuing on the development of technology for farming Vannamei shrimp in the waters of the Caspian Sea.

This project marks a new stage in the development of Turkmenistan's food industry, demonstrating the country's potential in the field of modern aquaculture and import substitution of delicatessen products.
