Abstract

The composition and distribution of cyprinid fish in the subarctic region of Siberia were analyzed. While there are 20 species of cyprinids living in the reservoirs of Siberia, only 10 species of this fish family were found in rivers and lakes of the Siberian subarctic region. The populations of these species were relatively low because of the habitat conditions: mainly due to the lack of solar energy absorbed by the reservoirs in high latitude zones.
