Tridge summary

An expedition of Siberian scientists, supported by the Project Office for the Development of the Arctic, successfully selected a new portion of Putorana char caviar for captive breeding at Sobachye Lake in Taimyr, as part of a unique aquaculture project. The goal is to diversify the genetic material of the breeding stock and eventually establish a full-fledged replacement broodstock in 5-7 years. This initiative aims to commercially produce fish with unique nutritional properties, including a record content of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) from Arctic char, which are beneficial for cardiovascular and nervous system health. The project receives financial support from the Project Office for the Development of the Arctic and involves collaboration with various institutions to understand the reasons for the record PUFA content in the char and to develop optimal methods for their maintenance in aquaculture.

In October 2021, with the support of the Project Office for the Development of the Arctic, another expedition of Siberian scientists to Sobachye Lake in Taimyr was completed. They selected a new portion of Putorana char caviar to try to achieve captive breeding. This is a continuation of the project for the cultivation of Taimyr fish in aquaculture, which is unique in its nutritional properties, which is often called "the healthiest fish in the world." “It is necessary to collect eggs for several seasons in order to diversify the genetic material of the breeding stock of fish being created. It must be obtained from different fish during the period before the first fry appear in aquaculture. To do this, a female char is euthanized with clove oil and fish eggs are obtained, and then the fish that has come to its senses is released alive and healthy. After that, the eggs are fertilized in the pelvis with the milk of the males. In the field, we checked that fertilization was ...
