Description
Summary:The paper summarizes the results of integrated study of current state of freshwater biota of small water bodies, located in the area of ‘Fedorova tundra’ intrusion. A list of species composition is given, quantitative and structural indicators of phytoplankton, zooplankton, zoobenthos and fish are assessed. Size-weight, age and sex structure of dominant ichthyofauna are estimated. The obtained results can be used as the reference values for further monitoring of the ecological status of the water bodies.
