Abstract
The Listvennichnaya River follows through the lake of the same name before emergence into the Bay Listvennichnaya on the southeastern coast of Kamchatka peninsula. The total length of the river is 15 kms (Verkhnaya Listvennichnaya River + Listvennichnoye Lake + Nizhnaya Listvennichnaya River). Coho salmon spawn in both rivers. There are no any research data about partly (or totally) feeding juvenile coho salmon from the upper river in Listvennichnoye Lake before migration to the sea. Presence of false annual rings in the freshwater zone of scale of mature coho salmon of the Listvennichnaya River can be seen in 50–70% individuals, what makes reading the freshwater age more complicated. Averaged for 2015–2017 the group 2.1 dominated (79.9%) in the age composition of mature coho salmon collected in 130 m from the mouth of the Listvennichnaya River (1.1 – 2.05, 3.1 – 18.1%). High frequency of coho salmon underyearlings (228 individuals in the catches for 2 years) in 130 m from the river mouth in July–September makes us to suggest emerging the fish into the sea, but there were no individuals aged 0.1 in spawning runs.
