Description
Summary:The complete list of fish-like vertebrates and fishes living in reservoirs and watercourses of the basin of the Upper Irtysh is given. The list contains 43 species belonging to 7 orders, 10 families and 30 genera. All currently registered species whose validity has been reviewed in the relevant systematic audits are included. Three types of taimen Hucho taimen Pallas, 1773, nelma Stenodus leucichthys nelma Pallas, 1773, and Siberian sturgeon Acipenser baerii Brandt, 1869 are included in the Red Book of the Republic of Kazakhstan. In the basin of the Upper Irtysh, the rare valuable species are in need of preservation of the gene pool because of the possibility of loss. In addition to those listed in the Red Book of the Republic of Kazakhstan we need to include some more species, namely the Pacific lamprey Lethenteron camtschaticum Tilesius, 1811, sterlet Acipenser ruthenus Linnaeus, 1758, and Markakol lenok Brachymystax savinovi Mitrofanov 1959. For each species, taxonomic comments, conservation status, and distribution are provided, abundance and comments value are indicated. Latin and Russian names are given. Приводится список рыбообразных и рыб, обитающих в водоемах и водотоках бассейна Верхнего Иртыша. Список содержит 43 вида, относящихся к 7 отрядам, 10 семействам и 30 родам. Включены все зарегистрированные на настоящий момент виды, валидность которых была пересмотрена в соответствующих систематических ревизиях. Три вида таймень Hucho taimen Pallas, 1773, нельма Stenodus leucichtys nelma Pallas, 1773, сибирский осетр Acipenser baerii Brandt, 1869 внесены в Красную Книгу Республики Казахстан. В бассейне Верхнего Иртыша к редким ценным видам, нуждающимся в сохранении генофонда из-за возможности его утраты, кроме уже внесенных в Красную Книгу Республики Казахстан можно отнести еще ряд видов: минога тихоокеанская Lethenteron camtschaticum Tilesius, 1811, стерлядь Acipenser ruthenus Linnaeus, 1758 маркакольский ленок Brachymystax savinovi Mitrofanov 1959.
