Abstract

The intraspecific structure and diversity of ecological forms of vyrezub Rutilus frisii are considered in different water bodies of the Black Sea basin in the Late Holocene (2500–0 years ago). In this part of the range, vyrezub is characterized by life strategies similar to those described earlier in the Azov-Don populations. The factors preconditioning the formation of three types of life strategy are considered, the lability of this process is demonstrated by transforming one form of vyrezub into another.
