Показано поэтапное развитие экосистемы водоема и искусственно созданной в нем популяции кокани. К настоящему времени на фоне усиления прогрева водной массы Толмачевского водохранилища произошло истощение запаса фосфора, азота и биодоступного железа в воде, что привело к снижению продуктивности фитопланктона. Биомасса зоопланктона в водоеме сохраняется на уровне 0,4 г/м 3 . В 2009-2013 гг. зоопланктон формировали копепода Cyclops scutifer и 3 вида мелких кладоцер: Holopedium gibberum, Bosmina longirostris, Daphnia (Daphnia) группы cristata. В 2009-2013 гг. популяция кокани была представлена малочисленным по сравнению с периодом до 2006 г. мелкоразмерным стадом с возрастом производителей от 4 до 7 лет. Обширный пищевой спектр с большой долей непищевых объектов (щепки, растительный детрит) в сочетании с высоким коэффициентом потребления свидетельствует о недостатке кормо-
In October 2014, a case of mass skin lesions was reported in whitespotted char (Salvelinus leucomaenis) caught in the Nalycheva River on the Kamchatka peninsula (Russia). The proportion of affected fish was approximately 50% of the catch. Lesions of varying severity were noted from small tubercles to large single and confluent formations and ulcers. Papilloma‐like growths were found in the epidermal layer of the skin of the affected fish. Histopathological alterations included the following: submerged growth of epithelial cells, infiltration of inflammatory cells, oedema of scale pockets, resorption of scales, haemorrhages, local necrosis and an increased number of mucous cells. In the dermal layer of the skin, haemorrhages and extensive necrosis were recorded. Inflammation, necrosis and destruction of myocytes were found in the underlying musculature. This is the first documented case of papilloma‐like skin lesions found in salmonids in Kamchatka. The affected whitespotted char were deemed unsuitable as a food product due to their unsatisfactory appearance and impermissible levels of bacterial contamination of the muscles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
