Abstract

An analysis of the reproductive potential of roach in the Volga reach of the Rybinsk Reservoir is made on the basis of published data and our own data obtained from 1953 to 2012. Values of fecundity obtained in the 2000s are the most similar to the results of 1976. Parameters of the intensity of the generative exchange of females (absolute and relative fecundity and size and mass of eggs) were high in 2007 and 2012, which indicates a sufficient food supply, especially of medium and large roach.
