Impact of the Don River regulated stream flow on spawning sites and spawning conditions of the anadromous Pontic shad

The existence of extended spawning migrations, which are characteristic of many fish species, indicates that environmental conditions of their spawning have to be different from those that characterize their habitats during the wintering period. These differences are especially pronounced in relation to the anadromous Pontic shad, which sites of spawning are located in full-flowing rivers and are significantly isolated from the sea. After the construction of the Tsimlyansk Reservoir, a number of hydrological changes took place, which made a significant impact on the distribution of the spawning sites of this species.
