Abstract

A dynamic mass-balance model has been presented for the biotic energy flux in the ecosystem of the Boguchanskoe Reservoir (Angara River, Irkutsk oblast). It has been revealed that this model is controlled by the small number of input parameters and is intended for prediction of the biomass and annual production of primary producers, reducers, and consumers from various orders, including fish. The model algorithm has been described.
