BIOTECHNOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF CAGE GROWING OF AFRICAN CATFISH IN THE CONDITIONS OF UZBEKISTAN

On May 15, 1260 kg of fish stock (70 g) were planted in fish cages installed in the Tuyabuguz reservoir (Uzbekistan) African catfish, Clarias gariepinus, I grew until mid-October. They fed minced meat made from the insides of broiler chickens. By mid-October, the average individual body weight reached 1300 g, the total biomass - 23400 kg. The total increase in fish biomass for 5 months amounted to 21740 kg. Kormovoy's coefficient in the experiment turned out to be 3.2. The fish productivity of cages was about 25 kg/m 3 .
