Abstract
This paper provides information on the presence of the vimba bream ( Vimba vimba ) in the middle reaches of the Ural River. One of the distinguishing features of this species from the native Caspian vimba ( V. persa ) is a greater number of scales in the lateral line. In the late 1980s, the vimba bream was introduced from the Don River basin into the Volga River basin. Having successfully adapted in the Volgograd reservoir, the species subsequently settled in the unregulated section of the Lower Volga, in the northern and, apparently, middle parts of the Caspian Sea, and also formed a stable residential population in the Ural River basin.
