Biological characteristics of bream (Abramis brama Linnaeus, 1758) of the Kremenchuk Reservoir as an object of commercial fishery by N. Rudyk-Leuska, O. Buzevych, M. Leuskyi, I. Burjak

“…The commercial catch of bream in the Kremenchuk Reservoir over the past 25 years has been characterized by instability with a significant decrease in 2020-24 - from 1.6-1.8 thousand tons to 1.1-1.3 thousand tons, while a decrease in the share of this species in the total catch was also observed - from 31-39% to 20-26%. The most abundant commercial contingents of bream of the Kremenchuk Reservoir were represented by individuals of 32-40 cm long, which resulted in relatively low average weighted values in 2021-24: age from 6.1 to 7.3 years, length from 33.3 to 36.8 cm, weight from 829 to 1080 g. …”
