Abstract
The paper discusses gathering and fishing, which are believed to be minor but nevertheless very important sources of livelihood for the nomads that are representatives of the Turkic and Mongolian peoples of Central Asia. These sources provided food and medicinal raw materials to the nomads. The versatile usage of resources by the nomads in Central Asia is shown by examples taken mainly from historical works and contemporary works of ethnologists.
