Material examined. Table 1.

Presence of 23–30 branched anal-fin rays and 51–60 scales on lateral line. It was observed in all river types and other water bodies, except for ponds. It is rare in shallow rivers and its abundance is low; however, it is more common in larger rivers. Abramis brama is much more frequently found in floodplain lakes, flowing oxbows than in landlocked oxbows. It was found in reservoirs. Abramis brama is likely not native to the upper portions of the Moksha River, up to 25 km from the source, but rather it escaped from the constructed ponds in the upstream portions of the river.
