First Studies of the Zoobenthos of Lake Teletskoye during the Ice-Cover Period and Assessment of the Quality of Its Water in 2023–2024

In 2023–2024, the composition and quantitative indicators of zoobenthos of Lake Teletskoye were studied for the first time during the period of ice cover in annually freezing areas of the water body. A comparison of water quality according to the state of zoobenthos in the same type of communities in the water area with increased anthropogenic load (northwestern shallow) and in the water area of the reserve (Kamginsky Bay) is given. The current standards for environmental monitoring of the water body are optimized.
