Hi, need to submit a 1500 words paper on the topic The Fisheries Sector of Kazakhstan. The actual number of fisheries in Kazakhstan far exceeds the reported number. Accordingly, illegal fishing in Kazakhstan is rampant despite while the implementation of law and accountability is ineffective. These conditions have resulted in significant lowering of many valuable fish species in the country. This paper summarizes the history and important statistics related to fisheries in Kazakhstan and concludes with recommendations for the businesses, industries, and local governments, all of which need to play their roles individually and collectively. The economic, social, and environmental challenges associated with fisheries in Kazakhstan need to be dealt with effectively to optimize the profitability of fisheries and make the business sustainable.

Kazakhstan, the 9th largest country in the world has its international borders traversing some very vast regional waterbodies including 1070km of the Aral Sea and 1894km of Caspian Sea (The Fish Site 2010). Kazakhstan’s sheer size embodies a lot of topographical variation. Glacial runoff from the exquisitely long mountain ranges supplies water to most rivers in the country. Kazakhstan has diverse waterbodies which have spurred fisheries’ development in the country. Fisheries in Kazakhstan are the relatively young branch of the economy compared to agriculture. Intensive fisheries’ development in Kazakhstan started in the 1960s (Ismukhanov and Mukhamedzhanov n.d.). The main target of the fisheries has been river fish stocks, Aral Sea, and the stocks of reservoir fish. Over the decades, new processing factories, lake farms, fish pond farms, and fish producing enterprises have been established in Kazakhstan, thus causing an overwhelming increase in fish breeding to the extent that fish production reached 100,000 tonnes by 1975 (Ismukhanov and Mukhamedzhanov n.d.).&nbsp.
