General characteristics of the educational program
The educational program "Intensive fish farming" was created in accordance with the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated July 9, 2004 "On the protection, reproduction and use of wildlife", taking into account the request of employers. This educational program solves the issues of aquaculture development and sets goals and objectives for the development and implementation of innovative technologies for growing new aquaculture facilities, which will allow the future specialist to form core competencies.
The relevance of the educational program lies in the fact that a program for the development of fisheries and aquaculture is being developed in the Republic of Kazakhstan with the introduction of promising fish farming facilities with a fast growth rate and high productive qualities, which makes it possible to increase the general demand of the population for fish products. Also, the widespread use of innovative technologies is reflected in the educational program, which highlights the problems and tasks set. Kazakhstan has large areas of inland water bodies with a high potential for bioproductivity, which gives grounds for the full use of these resources with the use of modern technologies of intensive fish farming.
The peculiarity of this educational program is that it is synchronized with the educational programs of leading foreign universities in Finland, Malaysia, Poland, the Czech Republic, Turkey, etc.The uniqueness of the educational program "Intensive fish farming" lies in the fact that it reflects the issues of modern intensive fish farming with the use of innovative scientific methods of economic activity of this industry, which reflects the selection work of the world's intensive fish farming experiments (the use of ultrasound, the use of aquaponics and hydroponics and other technologies).
