“…Practically all of the information on taimen ecology is published in journals that are not readily available to the western scientific community (Matveyev et al 1998), and no papers exist in English describing spawning based on first-hand observations. Even the impressive book by Holcˇík et al (1988), which concentrates on the taimen's sister species huchen (Hucho hucho), only cites Russian papers for a few taimen spawning behaviours, making it difficult to verify the descriptions (Pravdin 1949;Bukirev 1967;Misharin and Shutilo 1971;Sigunov 1972;Kifa 1974;Olifer 1977).…”

This study presents the first observations of Hucho taimen spawning in the wild based on underwater video recordings. One pair of taimen was monitored during a 19 h period, supplemented with visual observations from two other spawning pairs. We recorded two full spawning events performed in two different locations separated by approximately 30 m. The absence of an established male hierarchy along a nesting female was the most important difference between taimen and other salmonine breeding biology. Taimen spawning, based on our observations, is a single pair event. The male prevented the approach of other males by launching intense attacks that extended for several meters away from the redd. Our data suggests that taimen females, differently from other salmonines, do not cover their eggs immediately after having spawned but rest for a variable number of minutes before covering them.

“…Vulnerable A2bcd in China, Russia, Kazakhstan and Mongolia, and is being considered for listing in the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List (Wang and Xie, 2004;Matveyev et al, 1998;Baasanjav and Tsend-Ayush, 2001). So far, it has just been listed as vulnerable in the IUCN Red List in 2012.…”

Taimen Hucho taimen (Pallas, 1773) was once common in China, Russia, Kazakhstan and Mongolia but is disappearing now from its native region. This vulnerable species has considerable ecological importance but there are few data available on its biology. The limited available data on its systematics, distribution, ecology, reproduction and threats are summarized and discussed. (Yue and Chen, 1998) Fig 1. Hucho taimen in River

“…However, most individual species did not experience a change in size-at-harvest although all Lates species declined in size (Coulter, 1991;Mannini et al, 1996). In Lake Baikal, there was no evidence of change in size for the major commercial species, omul Coregonus autumnalis migratorius (Kozhova and Izmest'eva, 1998) while the size of some recreational fish species, including taimen Hucho taimen and northern pike Esox lucius, declined (Matveyev et al, 1998;Owens and Pronin, 2000). There was little or no change in size for most commercial species in the Baltic Sea basins (ICES, 2007).…”
