Results of quantitative count of not numerous species of pacific salmon at the fish enumeration facility in the headwaters of the Ozernaya River (Western Kamchatka)

Results of investigations of spawning run and quantitative assessment of Pacific salmon (pink salmon, chum salmon, coho salmon and chinook salmon) obtained during counting the sockeye salmon at fish enumeration facility in the headwaters of the Ozernaya River. It is revealed that abundance of various Pacific salmon species except sockeye salmon reaches significant values in some years in Kurile Lake. The presented data supplement knowledge about biology and reproductive ecology of pink salmon, chum salmon, coho salmon and chinook salmon.
