Abstract

Features of the maturation and dynamics of fecundity of kaluga Acipenser dauricus are analyzed based upon the materials of many years. The sizes, body weight, and age of fishes when they reached sexual maturity are determined. The correlation of fecundity with the size-and-weight and age parameters of females is shown. Decrease in the absolute and relative fecundity in recent years is presumably caused by the decrease of food provisioning of kaluga and anthropogenic effect.
