The studies were conducted with a Simrad EY-500 echosounder (120 kHz, 7x7 deg, 0.3 ms, split beam version) and a pelagic trawl for monitoring catches. At the outset of the 1990s, vendace dominated the commercial catches of both lakes reaching about fifteen kg·ha-1. Significant changes have occurred in the structure of the pelagic ichthyofauna in recent years in the studied lakes; the disappearance of vendace and the dominance of bleak and roach in the catches indicates that the tempo of eutrophication has increased.
