Specialists carried out control catches, determined the size-age and species composition of the ichthyofauna, and performed a biological analysis. During the expedition, fisheries scientists also collected material for assessing the habitat: samples of zoobenthos, phyto- and zooplankton.
Three species of fish were noted in the ichthyofauna of Lake Shaitanskoye: silver carp, golden carp, and lake minnow. Crucian carp predominate in quantitative terms.
