Abstract
Preliminary results of identifying the causes of mass mortality of silver carp in the water bodies of Belarus in the period 2018–2022 are presented. Abiotic and biotic factors that could cause the death of crucian carp are considered, including the hydrochemical regime, water bloom with a predominance of cyanobacteria, the levels of total bacterial contamination of water by saprophytic microflora, the presence of infectious and parasitic diseases. The structure of carp catches, their size-age and sex composition, the state of the gonads at the time of capture were analyzed. The state and degree of maturity of the gonads allows us to assert that crucian spawning is observed until August inclusive, which certainly affects the level of fish resistance. The presence of bisexual populations in all analyzed reservoirs was established, with a sex ratio close to 1:2. The growing relative abundance in carp populations confirms the efficiency of its reproduction even in the absence of natural sperm donors. An assumption was made about the complex impact of negative environmental factors against the background of a seasonal decrease in fish resistance due to a change in the breeding strategy.
