Abstract
The study is devoted to the use of an integrated approach to the research of fish spawning migration into the river basins of the Vistula Lagoon. The fish spawning migration into the Prokhladnaya River in 2019–2020 has been studied. The number of spawning migrating fish in lower river was estimated by echo-sounder and species and size structures of fishes was carried out based on catch data from gill nets with a mesh 14–60 mm in the lower part of the river. The most numerous species of the catches are roach, bream, and bleak, accounting for 77% of the total biomass. The small-sized fishes in the catches are roach, bleak and ruffe. The fish examples with a body length of 14–24 cm are silver bream, roach and perch. Large-sized individuals are represented by bream, less often pikeperch. Fishes over 47 cm in length are represented in the catches only by pike. The spawning migration begins in the first decade of April when the water temperature reaches 7–8 deg. C, and the mass migration begins at a water temperature of 11–12 deg. C. The daily dynamics of the spawning migration in these years does not undergo significant changes. There was a more than two-fold decrease in the total number of migrating fish in 2020 compared to 2019. A similar size-species structure of the ichthyocenosis of the Prokhladnaya River in 2019–2020 has been established. The differences in the intensity of the spawning migration in these years are probably due to the low water level in 2020 and presence of a barrier in the form of a silted river mouth, preventing the free entry of fish to their spawning grounds.
