Influence of the dynamics of water levels in spring on the area spawning grounds and efficiency of natural reproduction limnophilic fish species of the Cheboksary reservoir

Abstract
The article presents an analysis of long-term fluctuations in the area of spawning areas of three sections of the Cheboksary reservoir, depending on the water content of the year and water levels in the spring period, and their effect on the number of replenishment of the main commercial fish species. Basing on the interpretation of Landsat satellite images, the boundaries and areas of floodplain and coastal spawning areas at different levels were determined. A formula was obtained for the dependence of the area of spawning areas on water levels; the difference between the minimum and maximum values of spawning areas was 1.65 times. It was shown that a high degree of watering of spawning grounds favorably affects the reproductive success of most commercial fish species — a noticeable positive correlation was established between the number of underyearlings and the area of spawning grounds (Spearman’s correlation coefficient is 0.65 at p = 0.01). A formula was obtained for the dependence of the number of underyearlings on the area of spawning grounds, on the basis of which a forecast of recruitment in years with different degrees of water availability was given. According to preliminary calculations, the efficiency of natural reproduction can increase 20.5 times in high-water years compared to low-water years. By geo-referencing the boundaries of spawning grounds in geographic information systems, differences in the interpretation of the descriptions of spawning grounds in the Fishing Rules have also been eliminated.
