Abstract

A taxonomic list of food organisms of the vendace Coregonus albula (L.) in Lake Pleshcheevo in 2013–2015 is presented. Seasonal changes in the frequency of their occurrence in the diet and maximum number in the stomach are found. In spring, vendace primary feed on copepods; in summer, cladocerans dominate in the diet; and, in autumn, the role of cladocerans and copepods in the diet is approximately similar.
