This area, once the Soviet Union's fourth largest producer of fish sadly disappeared when the water ceased to flow.

Not only were thousands of people out of work, the fish from the thriving industry in the Aral Sea were no longer sent off to help save the lives of many starving workers in the new Soviet Union..
