Final studies of the state of commercial invertebrates in water bodies of the Altai Territory in 2024 were conducted

From September 2 to September 11, specialists from the Altai branch of the Russian State Research Center of the All-Russian Research Institute of Fisheries and Oceanography (VNIRO) conducted a final expedition to brackish water bodies in the Altai Territory as part of the state assignment on the topics of state monitoring and reconnaissance studies of the state of aquatic biological resources (gammarids, chironomids, chaoborids, copepods and other invertebrates). During the trip, 15 water bodies in 9 administrative districts were surveyed.
 
During the research, hydrochemical and hydrobiological material was collected, and phenological observations of the habitat of aquatic biological resources were carried out, which included measuring the main parameters (water salinity, water temperature, content of dissolved oxygen in water, pH of water acidity).
 
The collected material was delivered to the branch laboratory for further office processing and assessment of the state of aquatic biological resources in order to develop a forecast of their recommended catch for 2026.
