The purpose of the study was to economically assess the fishery significance of cluster groups of reservoirs with new methods of their exploitation. To achieve this goal, the following tasks were formulated and solved: to identify the main aspects of the economic development of pond fish farming and the effective functioning of the aquaculture subcomplex; conduct a systematic analysis of the current state of pond fish farming in the region and identify the reasons hindering the increase in fish production volumes; from an economic point of view, assess the fishery significance of cluster groups of reservoirs that influence the efficiency of production and sale of marketable fish in the republic; analyze the degree of use of the available pond stock and factors influencing fish productivity during the formation of clusters; identify ways to increase the economic efficiency of commercial pond fish farming; to develop a scientifically based system for the formation of clusters and priority directions for increasing the level of intensification in pond fish farming, to develop practical recommendations for improving the technology and organization of production in the industry and increasing the volume of fish production.
