Abstract
The article presents results of examining possible competition between mass species of flounders for food resources in the eastern part of the Sea of Okhotsk. Comparative analysis of flounder feeding is provided in view of nonrandom forming food spectra as an effect of certain factor, which is interspecific competition in particular. Analysis of population growth rate dynamics was to find out mutual effects of the populations of different species on each other. General methods of the research included “neutral models” and Lotka – Volterra equations. Results indicate, that structure of flounder feeding had stabilized early under the influence of factors, including the interspecific competition. In most cases, the interspecific competition estimated per an individual is higher than intraspecific competition. Simulation has demonstrated, that flounder populations of the eastern part of the Sea of Okhotsk striving in their dynamics to the state of sustainable balance. Revealed competition between the flounder species for the resources is of assymmetric character.
