Abstract

Based on materials collected in 2004–2008 at 44 water courses of Sakhalin, eight main communities of fish habitation within channel zones with a definite combination of hydromorphological parameters were distinguished. The structure of communities is described, and specific indices of their abundance are provided. Comparative analysis of changes taking place in communities at seasonal changes and technogenic impacts demonstrated that seasonal rearrangements have a more pronounced pattern than changes initiated by technogenic intervention.
