Abstract
The article presents results of examining possible competition between mass species of flounders for food resources in the eastern part of the Sea of Okhotsk. Comparative analysis of flounder feeding is provided in view of nonrandom forming food spectra as an effect of certain factor, which is interspecific competition in particular. Analysis of population growth rate dynamics was to find out mutual effects of the populations of different species on each other. General methods of the research included “neutral models” and Lotka – Volterra equations. Results indicate, that structure of flounder feeding had stabilized early under the influence of factors, including the interspecific competition. In most cases, the interspecific competition estimated per an individual is higher than intraspecific competition. Simulation has demonstrated, that flounder populations of the eastern part of the Sea of Okhotsk striving in their dynamics to the state of sustainable balance. Revealed competition between the flounder species for the resources is of assymmetric character.

Summary
В качестве исходного материала для оценки вероятного воздействия межвидовой конкуренции на структуру питания использованы данные В.И. (1998) по составу пищи шести массовых видов камбал, обитающих в восточной части Охотского моря, у берегов Западной Камчатки Что спектр питания разных по размеру особей может сильно различаться, поэтому в исследуемые сообщества объединяли рыб идентичных размерных групп, разбитых по 5-сантиметровым интервалам длины. В таблицах показано процентное соотношение организмов в общей биомассе пищевого комка. В них приведено рассчитанное нами по данным указанных авторов среднее соотношение компонентов питания рыб всех размеров, а также широта пищевого спектра — число объектов питания у особей разной длины. Исследование межвидовой конкуренции у восточноохотоморских камбал (Pleuronectidae) с помощью нейтральных и... Состав пищи (%) желтоперой камбалы восточной части Охотского моря
