Abstract

This Order establishes that for the purposes of aquaculture (fishfarming), it is allowed to carry out by legal entity, peasant (farm) economy, as well as by individual entrepreneur joint water use or separate water use for the purpose of aquaculture (fishfarming). Separate water use can be carried out by fishfarming enterprises on waterbodies or their parts pertaining to the ownership of natural persons, legal entities, waterbodies or their parts pertaining to state or municipal ownership and allotted for aquaculture (fishfarming). Pasture aquaculture is carried out by a fish farm using waterbodies in fish farms without a water abstraction (intake) of water resources from a waterbody. Industrial aquaculture in fishfarms using technical means intended for growing aquaculture species in an artificially created habitat, is carried out by a fishfarm without removal (withdrawal) of aquatic resources from a waterbody. The aforesaid waterbodies are used on the right of ownership or lease, as well as the right to permanent (open-ended) or gratuitous land use. Fish farms carrying out dredging works within the framework of the fishery land reclamation, are obliged to carry out measures for the protection of waterbodies, preventing their pollution and clogging.
