Resumen
Descripción
Aquaculture in Central Asia remains a largely underdeveloped sector. Despite significant investments during the Soviet era, the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the subsequent formation of the Commonwealth of Independent States led to a sharp decline in regional production.The project contributed to improved food security and national welfare through the promotion of sustainable aquaculture practices, better aquafeed formulation and production, and strengthened AAHM practices. Fish farmers now have a greater understanding of fish nutritional requirements and feeding strategies, and the practical application of improved feeding techniques was successfully implemented. As a result, national decision makers and fish farmers have an increased awareness of the importance of AAHM and the risks posed by emerging fish diseases. These outcomes collectively enhanced the capacity of the aquaculture sector to produce safe, high-quality aquafeed, improve farm productivity, reduce disease risks and achieve sustainable economic outcomes.The project contributed to the CPF for the period 2021–2025, whose priorities and expected outcomes of the CPF were consistent with those of the Government of Turkmenistan, with particular emphasis on increasing productivity and strengthening resilience to external shocks, especially climate-related shocks. The project contributed to several SDGs by strengthening fish disease diagnostics, establishing response plans and promoting farm-level biosecurity, thereby supporting food security, public health and sustainable aquaculture practices.
