Abstract

Based on a critical analysis of Russian and foreign publications for the last 200 years and on the results of the authors’ research, a complete annotated list of both typical freshwater ichthyofauna of Sakhalin Island, with the inclusion of the species occurring in lagoons of the island, and marine species that can be found in brackish and freshened coastal waters is presented for the first time. The list includes 175 species in three classes, 18 orders, 44 families, 19 subfamilies, and 114 genera. For each type, taxonomic comments are given, synonymy and conservation status, distribution within the island and rangewide, abundance and commercial value are clarified. Latin and English names are given. As is also a complete bibliography on the first descriptions and synonyms are provided. The first part presents the basic information about the history of the study, geographical and climatic-oceanographic characteristics of Sakhalin Island, and the first 11 species of the annotated list.
