Abstract
The study is focused on identifying fish species of fishery importance that are distributed across part of the Aras water reservoir within the Nakhichevan Autonomous Republic. The study was conducted between 2018 and 2021. Samples were collected using nets, strainers, and fishing rods, and materials (samples) captured by the “Nakhchivan Fish Farm” were also used in the study. The South Caucasian fish is found in the middle and lower reaches of the Kura River, in the swamps around Ganikhchay, in the lakes around the Kura, the Akhmaz, the Mingachevir reservoir, the Araz, Nakhchivanchay, Arpachay, as well as in the rivers of the Lankaran natural region, and in the port of Devechi within the borders of Azerbaijan. The fish has also been recorded in rivers flowing into the Caspian Sea [1-3]. Based on years of research conducted in the Araz reservoir, it was determined that the South Caucasian carp is distributed across all areas and biotopes of the reservoir. It is more commonly found in shallow areas, such as Garachug, Shorsuchay, and Yamkhana. According to the results of Vatega fishing, the carp ranks third among the fish caught.
