Changes in distribution and abundance rotana firebrands (Perccottus glenii Dybowski, 1877) in the reservoirs of Minsk for the period from the mid-1990-s. To the present time
Abstract
The Chinese sleeper, Perccottus glenii Dybowski, 1877, is one of the most common alien fish species in Eurasia. On the territory of Belarus, it was first discovered in the 1970s in small ponds located within the city of Minsk. In the city, located on the watershed of the Black and Baltic Seas, there were the largest number of water bodies inhabited by this species: until the middle of the 2000s. it inhabited almost all separate reservoirs and some sections of the city’s watercourses, its numbers in them were relatively stable. Studies conducted in 2020–2022 showed both a decrease in the number of water bodies in which the species is present and a general decrease in its abundance compared to the period 1996–2005. For the period 1996–2005 in the city and its environs, 82 water bodies were identified, in which the Chinese sleeper lived, for the period 2020–2022 — in 43, in 17 of which its number remained stable, and in 26 it decreased. The Chinese sleeper is included in the urban ichthyofauna complex and inhabits water bodies, starting from the smallest ones. The most favorable living conditions for it are formed in small stagnant, moderately overgrown with aquatic vegetation and moderately cluttered, with relatively clean water, water bodies. In most of them, it constantly lives together with other fish species, without reducing their numbers, which is due to both external factors and lifestyle of this species.
