Abstract
The investigation of symbiotic communities of the introduced Far-East fishes (topmouth gudgeon, grass carp, bighead carp, silver carp) under joint cultivation with other species (common carp) showed presence of 29 symbiont species (including parasites). More than 60% of the symbionts were those with wide hostal specificity - generalist species. The differences in dimensional-mass, immunological and biochemical characteristics of the host fishes depending on the qualitative and quantitative composition of their symbiotic communities were established.
