Abstract
Population structure of crucian carp in a small freshwater lake on Bolshoy Pelis Island is studied on the data of trap catches conducted in 1985, 1995 and 2015. Mature part of the population consisted of fish with length 110–280 mm TL and age from 2 to 8–9 years that are usual parameters for this species. Age was estimated using annuli on fish scale. The largest caught fish was the 14-years female with length 470 mm TL and weight 1650 g. All fish reached sexual maturity at age of 2 years. In the age of 5 years and more, the number of females in the population exceeded the number of males (2♀ : 1♂ in 1985). Length-weight relationship was calculated as W = a . TLb. Growth rate was calculated on length-at-age data. Rate of linear and weight growth of females was higher than males in 1985 and 2015 that is considered as a natural difference. After partial elimination of the population in 1995 under natural reasons (hypoxia and toxic microalgae bloom), growth rate of males and females became equal and number of males increased quickly, they were twice more numerous than females. However, the females prevailed again in the sex ratio in 2015. Rate of linear and weight growth was the lowest in 2015, probably because of high density of the fish population.
