The vendace is the most abundant fish species in the lake and was the main object of commercial fishing for 39 years (1932–1970) (60% of the total catch). From 1971 until 2000, the input of nutrients into the lake increased significantly due to high human economic activity in the catchment area. This led to a change in the hydrochemical and hydrobiological regimes of the lake. As a result, favorable conditions were created for vendace feeding. The biomass of zooplankton which is the main component of its diet, increased fivefold from 1950 to 2000 (from 0.4 to 2.1 g/m³). However, the conditions of reproduction of vendace significantly worsened due to siltation of spawning grounds, which led to the mortality of eggs during a long period of its embryogenesis (6–7 months). The decrease in the vendace abundance in 1971–2000 was also caused by the accidental penetration of a new species, the European smelt <i>Osmerus</i> <i>eperlanus</i> into the lake. For a long time (about 15 years) vendace was not found either in catches or in the diet of predatory fish species of the lake. In recent years, as a result of a decrease in the impact of human activity on the lake and the disappearance of the smelt in 2015 due to its infection with the parasite, the vendace population has begun to recover.</p>","PeriodicalId":48537,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ichthyology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141936107","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Significant differences in the vertical distribution of all studied taxa were also not found.

There were 6 types of the bait used: sunflower cake, and boils with flavor of “Strawberry,” “Plum,” “Tutti-frutti,” “Sweet corn” and “Mussel.” The wild common carp was attracted to the polygon by dumping into the river the attracting groundbait, combined from sunflower cake, corn, wheat and red clay (ratio 1 : 1 : 1 : 5). In 2–3 days after beginning of the attraction, the number of fish and its daily catch increased sharply and in a week reached the level which stay stable up to the end of experiment, that lasted for 79 days, from June, 19 through September, 5. Total catch was 1048 fish of body weight from 2 to 14 kg, average daily catch was 7.23 ± 2.13 specimens. The catch on the makushanka was stable during the whole time of the experiment and was about 13–15% of the total catch, while the catch on the boils of the different flavor types vary. At the beginning of the experiment the most of wild common carps were landed on the boils having “Mussel” flavor type. Then the catch on this boil type decreased to the middle of July, but the catch on the boil having “Sweet corn” flavor tended to increase up to 70–75% of the total catch on the boils of all types. The maximal catch on the boils with “Sweet corn” flavor correlated with the appearance of many anglers on the river, who used the groundbait with corn for fish attraction. The catch on the boils of fruit and berry flavor vary, but stay relatively low, the minor catch was on the boils with “Strawberry” flavor type. There was no plausible difference in the fish body weight, landed on different baits. The obtained data support the results of other studies showing important role of chemoreception in common carp behavior. We suppose that attraction of the wild common carp to the study polygon was due to the substances released by groundbait and accepted through the olfactory system, while the catch on the particular bait was a function of its smell, taste and textural features.
