Study of the ichthyofauna of small lakes in the Pskov region

Specialists from the Pskov branch of the Russian State Research Center "All-Russian Research Institute of Fisheries and Oceanography" (VNIRO) conducted a study of the ichthyofauna of Lakes Bolshoe Olbito and Sviblo in the Sebezhsky District of the Pskov Region.
 
The aim of the expedition was to analyze the state of the ichthyofauna in the region's small lakes. The study determined the quantitative and species composition of catches, the size and age structure of commercial fish species, and collected samples for biological analysis and size and weight measurements.
 
The fisheries were fished using fixed nets with different mesh sizes.
 
The results of the office analysis of the collected data will be used to develop a biological justification for recommended catch volumes in the lakes of the Pskov Region.
