the Atlantic salmon Salmo Salar L // Biogeography of Karelia. Proceedings of KarRC RAS. Series "Biology". Issue 7. Petrozavodsk: KarRC RAS, 2005. Pp. 26-32
142 rivers were inventoried. Inventory revealed ongoing reproduction of the Atlantic salmon in 86
rivers of the Murmansk region and Karelia emptying into foraging waterbodies (Barents Sea,
White Sea and lakes). Drawing upon the analysis of the hydrological parameters and structure of the watersheds, classification of the rivers into 7 types and 4 groups has been suggested. Relationships between the set of hydrological parameters and some salmon biological characteristics and the species diversity of the accompanying fish fauna are considered. It is concluded that there exists demand for a Directory of salmon rivers of Russia and the National strategy for Atlantic salmon conservation.
