Abstract

A comparative analysis of literature data and our own results on the morphology of roach from the Volga Reach (Rybinsk Reservoir) in different years is conducted. Recently, (from 2007 to 2010), the morphological characteristics of the roach have been similar to those observed between 1976 and 1978. The roach is characterized by an intermediate position between the herbivorous and malacophagous morphs, but it is more similar to the herbivorous morph.
