Abstract
The result of the study of morphological traits of grayling dwelling in the mountainous lake Ayan and plain lake Tommot (Khatanga River basin) was presented. It is shown that the difference in complex of morphological traits (strong expression of sexual dimorphism in grayling from the high water body, significant morphological differences in plastic signs), was associated with the adaptations to different environmental conditions.
