ESTIMATION OF BREAM ABRAMIS BRAMA (LINNAEUS, 1758) POPULATION SIZE IN THE VOLGA-CASPIAN AND NORTH CASPIAN FISHERY SUBAREAS IN THE CURRENT PERIOD

Abstract

The estimation of the absolute number of bream in the Volga-Caspian and North Caspian fish-ery subareas is given. The modern mathematical method of cohort analysis and the direct method used during the researches give a complete picture of the bream population and allow etermining its reserves and the total allowable catch for the future under different environmental conditions and rational use of spawning stock. The reasons of changing the current dynamics of bream population such as changing abiotic and biotic environmental factors in the Northern Caspian Sea and the Volga river delta (reduction of the Volga runoff, level mode, increase in salinity and decrease of the biomass of food organisms) are shown. It is established that in conditions of extremely low and short flood of the Volga river the reproduction of bream was unsatisfactory during six consecutive years. All these factors negatively influenced the number of the whole generation and reduced the commercial stocks of bream from 72.0 thousands in 2002 to 48.0 thousands in 2012.
