Abstract

The hydrological, hydrobiological and ichthyological parameters of the Kirovsk Reservoir in the West Kazakhstan region of the Republic of Kazakhstan are described. The reservoir was selected as a model for realization of the grant project No. AP09058066 “Developing mobile active hy-droacoustic fish protecting device to protect fish and juveniles from entering the dam spillways of large hydroelectric power plants and reservoirs” of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Hydrological, hydrobiological and ichthyological studies were aimed to obtain data for making optimal decisions on the design, equipment and working algorithm of the fish protection device. Hydrological studies include measuring depths and current speed in the water area of the reservoir and in front of the dam spillway. The species composition, abundance and biomass of forage invertebrates of zooplankton and zoobenthos were studied as hydrobiological indicators. The main biological indicators, fish abundance and biomass, species composition and concentration of juveniles were taken into account when studying ichthyological data. The obtained hydrological, hydrobiological and ichthyological parameters of the Kirov Reservoir served as the basis for developing the concept of a mobile active hydroacoustic fish protecting device to prevent fish and juveniles from entering the spillways of dams at the large hydroelectric power plants and reservoirs

Highlights

The Kirov Reservoir is the first in the cascade of the reservoirs of the Ural-Kushum irrigationwatering system [1]

Before the dam spillway the depth increases a little, which is caused by a stronger current washing away the ground (2.7-3.5 m in the offseason, and 3.7-4.5 m in the spring high water)

Summary

Introduction

The Kirov Reservoir is the first in the cascade of the reservoirs of the Ural-Kushum irrigationwatering system [1]. Hydrological studies include measuring depths and current speed in the water area of the reservoir and in front of the dam spillway. The main biological indicators, fish abundance and biomass, species composition and concentration of juveniles were taken into account when studying ichthyological data.
