In the Atyrau region, around 80 kilograms of fish fry, each weighing 12-14 grams, perished due to low water levels in the Sary-Ozek canal. The Ministry of Agriculture of Kazakhstan confirmed the incident, noting that the fish inspectorate disposed of the dead fry following sanitary standards. Efforts to save juvenile fish, including various species like carp, bream, pike perch, catfish, and small crucian carp, involved fisheries workers, local executive bodies, and volunteers, successfully rescuing over 100,000 pieces. Rescue operations are still ongoing.
