Research of freshwater reservoirs of the Murmansk region

 

The work included test fish catches and benthos and water sampling. Preliminary data on the species composition of the lake's ichthyofauna were obtained.

 

Lovozero is home to whitefish, which makes up the majority of the catch, along with pike, perch, grayling, vendace, burbot, and ruff, as well as occasional brown trout and char. The lake is noted to be a popular fishing destination for domestic and international tourists year-round. Local residents, including representatives of indigenous peoples of the North, also actively fish. The lake is rich in fish, despite significant fishing pressure. Further research will be conducted on the lake.
