| Comments: | Aquaculture production has dropped significantly since 1992 (Ref. 26920). Transported from the Amu Darya into the Murgab in 1894, from Murgab to Tedgen in 1952. It has been widely introduced around the country: Kara Kum channel, Lake Sarykamysh, the Murgab, salty Lake Yaskhan (the western Uzboi), and other water bodies. The carp widely populated the rivers and hydromeliorative systems (exclusive, perhaps, of the Atrek River) and mingled with the "wild" carp (Ref. 30700). Ref: | ||||
