The main characteristics of the growth of the silver crucian carp is sexual dimorphism and compensatory growth. The maximum observed body length (Ad) of the Amur River silver crucian carp is 40 cm, body weight 2,1 kg. Differences were found in the indicators of linear, weight growth and growth rate of silver crucian carp living in the watercourses of the Middle Amur Lowland and in the lower part of the Lower Amur. Based on the coefficients of the growth equations, the coefficients of natural mortality for each year of life of females and males of silver crucian carp are calculated. The age of sexual maturity of females is 6 years. The commercial length of female silver crucian carp of the Middle Amur lowland, consistent with the age of mass maturation and the maximum biomass of generations should be equal to 20 cm, in the lower part of the Lower Amur – 23 cm.","PeriodicalId":129863,"journal":{"name":"Problems of fisheries","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125058862","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is established that in the period from the 60s. last century to 2008–2011 in the kaluga and the Amur sturgeon in the Amur River, there was a reduction in the size range and number of age groups, the proportion of mature individuals, the level of replenishment of populations with juveniles and abundance. The main reason for these changes is INN fishing (illegal, unreported and unregulated). According to the results of research in 2021, it was revealed that the modern number of kaluga exceeded the figures of the 60s. last century. In the Amur sturgeon, the process of population growth has not yet reached the historical values noted in the 1960s–1970s, but exceeded the indicators of the 1980s and subsequent years. Despite the noted positive points, at present, the population of kaluga in the river. Amur is characterized by the smallest average size and age over 60 years of study. The situation is better for the Amur sturgeon, which is due to the lower interest of fishermen in this species and the large volume of release of its juveniles from sturgeon hatcheries (ORZ). The reason for the positive dynamics is the artificial reproduction that has been developing on the Amur over the past decade, as well as the introduced set of restrictions on the Pacific salmon fishery.
