Current state of zooplankton in the Small Aral Sea

Small Aral Sea is one of the important reservoirs of fisheries. The constructed Kokaral dam affected the stabilization of the hydrological regime of the Small Aral Sea, intensive desalination of water and the structure of fauna. The number of fish species that have commercial value has increased. And hence the study of the state of their food base. This article presents the results of hydrobiological studies of the Small Aral Sea in 2017. Species composition, quantitative indices of the zooplanktofauna and the trophicity of the reservoir were determined.
