Fishing industry in Turkmenistan

Today, the fishing industry is developing rapidly, due to technological modernization and renewal schemes and the growth of aquaculture.

[1] Under the command of the Turkmen president, fishing facilities in the country have been reconstructed and constructed with modern industry infrastructure, particularly in the Caspian Sea 610 km coastline of western Turkmenistan in Balkan Province.

Fish, however, is not widely consumed all across Turkmenistan and it is mainly confined to the coast and eaten by people living in the coastal area.

The Turkmenistan Fishery Protection is also active in the country and is closely tied with some of the topic marine institutes in the United States.

Later Dr. R. Mayden, Saint Louis University and Dr. Eric Hilton, Virginia Institute of Marine Science studied the remnants of the fish and confirmed it as such.
