Abstract
Kirenga River is the large (746 km long) right tributary of upper part of Lena River. River headwaters situated relatively close to west coast of Lake Baikal among the high peaks of the Baikal Ridge at 1470 m a.s.l. Fishes were collected from the Kirenga’s middle reaches during the investigations of biota of Tukolon’ nature protected territory along the 25 km section of riverbed (starting from approx. 375 km upstream from the mouth) in June 2013, June and September 2014, Oktober 2015 and April 2016. According to available data the ichthyofauna at this river section consists of 20 species in 11 families: Far Eastern brook lamprey Lethenteron reissneri, dace Leuciscus leuciscus baicalensis, roach Rutilus rutilus, Czekanowski's minnow Rhynchocypris czekanowskii, Amur minnow Rhynchocypris lagowskii, Eurasian minnow Phoxinus phoxinus, loach Cobitis melanoleuca, Siberian stone loach Barbatula toni, Northern pike Esox luceus, whitefish Coregonus pidschian, tugun Coregonus tugun, roundfish Prosopium cylindraceum, Baikal-Lena grayling Thymallus baicalolenensis, taimen Hucho taimen, lenok Brachymystax lenok, burbot Lota lota, sculpin (spotted sculpin, alpine bullhead) Cottus cf. poecilopus, Siberian sculpin Cottus sibiricus, ruff Gymnocephalus cernuus, perch Perca fluviatilis. Lamprey, burbot and sculpin in our findings were reported from guts of other piscivorous fich species but tugun and Czekanowski's minnow were not registered. Lenok and Baikal-Lena grayling are still most numerous in the river. Low abundance is characteristic to lamprey, loach, Siberian stone loach, burbot, sculpin and Siberian sculpin. Recent growth features in most species are generally similar with the ones for fishes from Kirenga’s low reaches and main course of Upper Lena. Their ages of maturation mostly coincides with other large streams in East Siberia.
