Abstract
An example of red-billed pacu Piaractus brachypomus with standard length 271.8 mm and weight 691 g was captured in the Lake Chervyachnoye (Sakhalin island) in May of 2010. This fish was without parasites, what indicates spending a short period in the Lake. Plenty fat in the abdominal cavity says in favour of good physical condition. Stomach content included typical Sakhalin freshwater invertebrates. The species does not threat local ecosystem, because minimum temperatures in the rivers and lakes of Sakhalin during cold period of the year are lower than red-billed pacu survival temperature limit. Most likely the fish was released into the lake by an amateur aquariumist.
