The Scientific and Practical Center for Bioresources offers consumers services on the use of a system for controlling the spread of alien species of fish pathogens and recommendations for minimizing the damage they cause in natural reservoirs and fish farms under an outsourcing agreement.

For the first time, a system for monitoring alien species of fish pathogens and an algorithm for its implementation have been developed for fish farms in Belarus. It is based on an annotated list of alien species of parasites, methodological recommendations for express assessment of the degree of their danger to fish farms, which allows for timely signaling of their appearance in water bodies, quickly and effectively diagnosing them in populations of commercial fish species and taking effective measures to minimize the negative impact on introduced fish populations.
Recommendations have been developed to minimize the economic damage caused to the fish farming industry by alien species of fish pathogens, containing preventive and therapeutic measures to combat helminthic and bacterial diseases of fish in pond farms.

Scope - agriculture (fish industry of countries).
The system for monitoring alien species of fish pathogens and an algorithm for its implementation can be used not only in fish farms in Belarus, but also in adjacent territories.

Prevention of parasitic and invasive threats.
The development meets the needs of the international market in terms of quality and competitiveness, and is an export product with optimization for a specific export region.
It is environmentally safe. There are no analogues.
The control system allows for timely signaling of the appearance of alien species in pond farms, and for their rapid and effective diagnosis in commercial fish populations. The implementation of the developed recommendations for minimizing economic damage caused to the fish farming industry by alien species of fish pathogens at fish farms has reduced damage from parasitic diseases and reduced the costs of anti-epizootic measures by 20–30%.

Fish farms of the Republic of Belarus (OJSC "Rybokombinat" Lyuban "(act of implementation on October 18, 2018), OJSC" Experimental fish farm "Selets" (act of implementation on 16.10.2018), OJSC "Rybkhoz" Krasnaya Sloboda "(act on implementation of 26.09. .2018), etc.

The State Scientific and Production Association "Scientific and Practical Center of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus for Bioresources" is the leading organization in the republic providing scientific support for the state environmental policy in the field of conservation and rational use of flora and fauna, natural communities and ecosystems, scientific and technical support for the conservation and use of biological diversity and bioresources as a national treasure of the Republic of Belarus.

The Scientific and Practical Center of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus for Bioresources takes part in European projects of international technical assistance and cross-border cooperation in the field of biotechnology and ecology. The Center is the National Contact Point of the European Union Framework Program for Science and Innovation "HORIZON-2020" in the section "Climate, efficient use of natural resources", supports the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora CITES.

Main areas of activity:
- comprehensive study and scientific support for the conservation and rational use of natural biological resources;
- assessment of the state and dynamics of biological diversity, natural complexes and ecosystems;
- scientific support for the creation, operation and development of the system of specially protected natural areas and the national ecological network;
- development of measures to reduce the negative impact of invasive species, regulate the number of pests in agriculture, forestry and hunting. is the leading organization in the republic in the field of scientific support for state environmental policy in the field of conservation and rational use of flora and fauna, natural communities and ecosystems, scientific and technical support for the conservation and use of biological diversity and bioresources as a national treasure of the Republic of Belarus.
