SOME ASPECTS OF THE ECOLOGY OF HORIZONTAL DISTRIBUTION OF PELAGIC YOUNG SOCKEYE-SALMON IN KURIL LAKE IN KAMCHATKA

The authors conducted a correlation analysis of the horizontal distrib ution of pelagic young sockeye salmon (remainder and replenishment - f ingerlings) in Kuril Lake in the second half of summer, depending on t he surface water temperature, transparency, total content of organic s uspended matter, epilimnic sonic scattering layers (SSL), bottom relie f and biotopic subdivision of the body of water. The seasonally hetero topic specific nature of the pelagic zone of Severnaya and Yuzhnaya-1 lake inlets was ecologically substantiated.
