Abstract

Purpose. Forming a thematic bibliographic list of English-language and Ukrainian-language publications, which highlight the issues of artificial breeding and cultivation of European grayling in Ukraine and abroad, the results of research into its population, ecological, genetic, physiological, biochemical, immunological and other characteristics. Methods. The complete and selective methods were applied in the process of the systematic search. The bibliographic core have been consisted of scientific publications in Ukrainian and English from the fund of the Institute of Fisheries NAAS Scientific Library, as well as resources available to its users. Results.
