Abstract

Some features of the biology of European catfish Silurus glanis in the Lower Kama Reservoir (Nizhnekamsk Reservoir) are elucidated for the first time based on the materials collected in 2005–2017. The size–age structure, sex composition, and growth rate of catfish are analyzed. A trend towards an increase in catfish catches is noted, which is also currently observed in other reservoirs.
