The employees of the Hydrobiology Laboratory went on an expedition to the Shah dili, Bandovan and Gizilaghaj water areas of the Caspian Sea

Head of the Hydrobiology lLaboratory, Assoc.Prof. S.S. Suleymanov, a leading researcher S.A. Guliyev, and junior researchers N.E. Ibrahimova and I.S. Samadli visited the South Caspian Shah region, Bandovan and Gizilaghaj water areas on 20.06 - 25.06.2024.

During the research period, it was noted that 25 fish were caught in the trawl net (Caspian mullet, Kura herring, kutum, common carp, Monkey goby, Caspian aterini and Caspian needlefish). Although the species composition of the fish caught in the net is high, due to the high temperature of the air, there were few fish in the coastal zones. They preferred the deep layers of the sea. It was determined that due to the lowering of the sea level in recent years, the ecological condition of the fish spawning on the vegetation in the coastal zones is not satisfactory.

The materials obtained during the research are currently being thoroughly processed in the laboratory.
