Seasonal Dynamics of Biological Indicators of the European Flounder Platichthys flesus Linnaeus, 1758 in the Central Part of the Kola Bay in 2018
Abstract
The data on the seasonal dynamics of biological indicators of European flounder are presented for the central part of the Kola Bay for the year of 2018. In particular, the size-age and population sexual structure, feeding, and distribution density of European flounder were considered. The constants of the power equation of the dependence of the fish body weight on its length were obtained, the peculiarities of the fish growth were revealed. It is assumed that European flounder is one of the important components of the coastal ecosystems of the Kola Bay.
