The necessary preparatory measures for the enhancement programme, including fisheries protection law enforcement and research, are outlined above. The following actions are necessary to establish the hatcheries themselves.
Final selection of a hatchery site from the alternative suggested. Purchase or leasing agreement made with owners.
Appointment of an experienced Turkish trout farm manager, or signing of a management agreement with an existing private trout farm.
Detailed planning of hatchery and fish trap with international consultants
Ordering of imported equipment.
Site preparation, upgrading/provision of road access (if necessary), erection of buildings, installation of water supply and services, tanks, pipework, etc.
Building of the fish trap.
Establishment of contacts with Soviet authorities to secure a supply of Black Sea trout eggs if needed.
Final selection of hatchery site. If the recommended location below Suat Ugurbu dam is accepted, this land is already Government-owned.
Appointment of an experienced sturgeon hatchery manager from overseas, and of a Turkish trainee (assistant) manager having some experience in fish culture.
Detailed planning of hatchery.
Ordering of imported equipment.
Site preparation, provision/upgrading of road access (if required), erection of buildings, installation of water supply and services, tanks, pipework, etc.
Contract agreement with local fishermen made for provision of sturgeon broodstock.
Establishment of contacts with Soviet authorities to secure supply of sturgeon eggs/fry if required.
