Abstract

The water quality of water bodies specify the developmental level of hydrobionts’ lifecycle habituating in them and is an essential component in the ecological characteristics of any water bodies. This article highlights the data on the chemical structure of water, species composition and abundance of zoobenthos in the fishponds at the Research Institute of Fishery in 2020. Moreover, saprobity indices and biodiversity in different ponds of the Research Institute of Fishery were calculated based on hydrochemical and hydrobiological indicators, the ecological condition of fishponds in the Research Institute of Fishery was analyzed.
