COMMERCIAL-BIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTIC OF CRUCIAN CARP (CARASSIUS GIBELIO) OF THE KAKHOVKA RESERVOIR

Abstract

The current state of crucian carp (Carassius gibelio) population of the Kakhovka reservoir indicates on high potential opportunities of this species in forming the commercial fishing base. Population and individual indices of crucian carp in interannual aspect are characterized by sufficient stability, the dynamics of the system “recruitment?remain” has positive character. The introduced system of special regimes of harvest will allows significantly increase the efficiency of commercial exploitation of this species in the Kakhovka reservoir.
