Ichthyologists assessed the outcomes of vendace introduction to Lake Vashozero, Kondopoga District
Specialists from the Institute of Biology KarRC RAS studied the state of hydrobiological communities, including the fish fauna, in Lake Vashezero in the Kondopoga District of Karelia. The commercial vendace species was artificially introduced into the lake, along with whitefish, in the 1930s. The outcomes of such an introduction can be assessed objectively only decades later. The conclusion of the scientists is that, unlike other species, the Onego vendance became successfully established and naturalized in Vashozero.
