Summer monitoring at the Kershinsky reservoir in the Tambov region

During the period from July 1 to July 4, as part of the state assignment, specialists from the laboratory of aquatic biological resources of the freshwater fisheries branch of the All-Russian Research Institute of Fisheries and Oceanography (VNIRO) conducted field research on the Kershin Reservoir.
 
During the research, the branch's specialists took hydrobiological, hydrological, hydrochemical and bacteriological samples, and also carried out fishing for research and control purposes.
 
The extraction of aquatic biological resources was carried out using single-walled nets with a mesh size of 30-70 mm. Processing of ichthyological material was carried out in the field.
 
The obtained samples were transferred to the branch scientists for further processing in the laboratory. Based on the data obtained, the reserves of aquatic biological resources and their habitat were assessed, the values ​​of the recommended extraction of aquatic biological resources were determined, and measures for their conservation were developed.
