The fish-breeding area, the ponds of the growing area, the pumping station and other hydraulic structures were flooded. The Novokahovsky section of the plant is also under the threat of flooding.

The plant maintains a valuable breeding stock of aquatic biological resources and grows carps, pikes, pike perch, catfish, bream, silver carp, grass carp for stocking natural reservoirs of national importance. The modern commercial herd of these fish species in the lower Dnieper and the Dnieper-Bug estuary almost entirely consists of individuals that are the products of the plant.

Every year, the plant instilled 13 million fish specimens into the fishery water bodies of Ukraine.
