Abstract
The population structure of the whitefish in the Dodot lakes (Aldy-Deerlig-Khol' and Ustyu-Deerlig-Khol') upstream situated of the Khamsara river, the basin of the Bol'shoy Enisey river, was studied. It is demonstrated on the basis of the number of bored scales in the side line that the whitefish pydschjan Coregonus lavaretus pidschian (Gmelin) is represented in this water body by two different populations occupying close ecological niches. It was concluded on the basis of the data obtained that this region is the zone of secondary intergradation for the whitefish of lavaretus complex.
