Biotic features of using the Kyiv reservoir as a fishery water body (Review)

Purpose. To analyze the range of special scientific literature and summarize the information obtained on the modern biotic features of the Kуiv reservoir. Namely: the state and specificity of communities of phytoplankton, zooplankton, zoobenthos and macrophytes from this reservoir. To consider the main data on their formation, as well as the direction of further development and impact on fish productivity. Findings. An overview of scientific publications devoted to the biotic features of the Kуiv reservoir, which directly affect its potential as a fishery water body, were presented. The literature data on the most widespread communities of phytoplankton, zooplankton, zoobenthos, and macrophytes in this reservoir are generalized. The main directions in which they affect the possibility of commercial fisheries in this reservoir are described. The general aspects of the anthropogenic pressure impact on them, as well as their consequences, are considered. The perspective ways of further development of the Kyiv reservoir as a fishery water body with the systematic implementation of complex reclamation measures and the organization of rational commercial fishing are shown. Practical Value. The review may be useful for scientists, Ph.D. students, students, government authorities, and private entrepreneurs involved in the research process or exploitation of aquatic living resources in internal water bodies, primarily in the Kуiv reservoir.
