ARARAT REGION. August 6. /ARKA/. On Saturday Armenian Premier Tigran Sargsyan, Economy and Justice ministers visited the fish-breeding company “Aquatechavtomatika” located in the territory of the village Sis in Ararat region of Armenia. He got introduced to the production processes and pools of the company, correspondent of “ARKA” news agency informs.

“Aquatechavtomatika” deals with fish-growing in artificial pools using deep-well water. It is the leading company in the sphere of fish-breeding and processing of fish products in the country.

General Director of "Aquatechavtomatika” Artak Gevorgyan said that the company was built in 1996. Till 1998 it was growing trout and from 1998 till present it deals with fish growing of sturgeon, especially starlet.

In 2010 the company invited an international expert from Dutch company Aquaculture Consultacy & Engeneering and with the expert’s support developed measures targeted at the increase of productivity of investments.

“Besides the concrete pools, six plastic pools were assembeled which allow to double production volumes in the same investment sizes. Use of plastic pools in fish-breeding is very common abroad”, said Gevorgyan. Plastic pools are more effective than concrete pools from the point of view of construction expenses and operation.

Expiration date of the pools is about 25 years. The pools can be installed in a short period of time and disassemble in three hours. “The most important thing is that for the installation of plastic pools it is not necessary to change the land category and conduction of large-scale land works”, he said.

Director of the Fund of Economic development of land territories of Armenia Tigran Khanikyan informed that in 2010 the Fund has invested about 200 million drams in the company, of which 82.2% should have been directed at obtaining the main equipment – pools, oxygen generators, aerators and laboratory equipment.

“The remaining amounts should be target at the replenishment of maternal staff of fish”, he said. ($1 – 366.56 drams).-0—
