include: 
(1) Moscow State University, Leningrad: Institute of Biology and 
Soil; Department of Ichthyology (Theoretical bases of fish culture); 
Zoological Museum. 
(2) Leningard State University, Leningrad: Institute of Biology 
(Cultivation of Salmonids); Department of Ichthyology and

Not every educational institution mentioned above trains specialists 
in the field of fish culture per se. Specific preparation of such spe- 
cialists is carried out in the following establishments: 
(15) Timiriazev Agricultural Academy of Sciences, Moscow. It has 
a Department of Fish Culture. For training of fish culturists 
(technicians), the Academy also regularly organizes 3-month or I- 
month courses for study of fish culture techniques. During recent 
years, the Department of Pond Fish Culture prepared 12 “candidates 
of sciences” in the field of fish culture (equivalent to Sc.D), as well 
as more than 300 specialists and 150 ‘‘brigadiers”’ (technicians) for 
fish culture farms; likewise for kolkhozes and sovkhozes (state agricul- 
tural farms) which have ponds.
