The role of reservoirs in changing the species composition of the ichthyofauna (on the example of the Kuibyshev reservoir)

Abstract

© 2019 IOP Publishing Ltd. The article presents data on the composition of the ichthyofauna of the Kuibyshev reservoir for the period (1957-2017). A list of fish in the reservoir is presented, compiled from recent studies, taking into account new taxonomic revisions and reports (13 units, 19 families, 47 genera and 59 species). During the existence of the reservoir, its ichthyofauna was replenished with 18 new species, 9 of which formed self-reproducing populations.
