Maya (Uda)
The Maya () is a river in Amur Oblast and Khabarovsk Krai, Russia. It is the longest tributary of the Uda, with a length of and a drainage basin area of . The name originated in an Evenki word for a basket of birch bark. The river flows across an uninhabited area. The Maya is a destination for watersports, such as rafting. Course The Maya is a left tributary of the Uda. It has its origin in the southern slopes of the Stanovoy Range, at the confluence of rivers Ayumkan and Kun-Manyo. In its upper course the river flows fast roughly in an ESE direction across taiga-covered mountains within a clearly defined valley. After crossing a ridge, the Maya flows along the intermontane basin that limits the northeastern flank of the Maya Range (Майский хребет). Its channel divides into branches, forming islands. At the eastern end of the range the river turns southeastwards and enters a floodplain, slowing down and flowing among marshes for a relatively short distance. Fin ...

List Of Rivers Of Russia
Russia can be divided into a European and an Asian part. The dividing line is generally considered to be the Ural Mountains. The European part is drained into the Arctic Ocean, Baltic Sea, Black Sea, and Caspian Sea. The Asian part is drained into the Arctic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. Notable rivers of Russia in Europe are the Volga (which is the longest river in Europe), Pechora, Don, Kama, Oka and the Northern Dvina, while several other rivers originate in Russia but flow into other countries, such as the Dnieper (flowing through Russia, then Belarus and Ukraine and into the Black Sea) and the Western Dvina (flowing through Russia, then Belarus and Latvia into the Baltic Sea). In Asia, important rivers are the Ob, the Irtysh, the Yenisei, the Angara, the Lena, the Amur, the Yana, the Indigirka, and the Kolyma. In the list below, the rivers are grouped by the seas or oceans into which they flow. Rivers that flow into other rivers are ordered by the proximit ...

Thymallus
''Thymallus'', commonly known as graylings, is a genus of freshwater ray-finned fish and the only genus within the subfamily Thymallinae of the family Salmonidae. Although all ''Thymallus'' species can be generically called graylings, without specific qualification the term "grayling" typically refers to the type species '' Thymallus thymallus'', the European grayling. Name The name of the genus ''Thymallus'' first given to grayling (''T. thymallus'') described in the 1758 edition of ''Systema Naturae'' by Swedish zoologist Carl Linnaeus originates from the faint smell of the herb thyme, which emanates from the flesh. ''Thymallus'' derives from the Greek θύμαλλος, "thyme smell". Species According to FishBase, 14 species are placed in this genus. However, views differ on their taxonomic rank. * '' Thymallus arcticus'' ( Pallas, 1776) - Arctic grayling * '' Thymallus baicalensis'' Dybowski, 1874 - Baikal black grayling * '' Thymallus brevipinnis'' Svetovid ...

Burbot
The burbot (''Lota lota''), also known as bubbot, mariah, loche, cusk, freshwater cod, freshwater ling, freshwater cusk, the lawyer, coney-fish, lingcod, or eelpout, is a species of coldwater ray-finned fish native to the subarctic regions of the Northern hemisphere. It is the only member of the genus ''Lota'', and is the only freshwater species of the order Gadiformes. The species is closely related to marine fish such as the common ling and cusk, all of which belong to the family Lotidae (rocklings). Etymology The name burbot comes from the Latin word ''barba'', meaning beard, referring to its single chin whisker, or barbel. Its generic and specific names, ''Lota lota'', comes from the old French ''lotte'' fish, which is also named "barbot" in Old French. Description With an appearance like a cross between a catfish and an eel, the burbot has a serpent-like body, but is easily distinguished by a single barbel on the chin. The body is elongated and laterally compress ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Coregonus
''Coregonus'' is a diverse genus of fish in the salmon family (Salmonidae). The ''Coregonus'' species are known as whitefishes. The genus contains at least 68 described extant taxa, but the true number of species is a matter of debate. The type species of the genus is '' Coregonus lavaretus''. Most ''Coregonus'' species inhabit lakes and rivers, and several species, including the Arctic cisco (''C. autumnalis''), the Bering cisco (''C. laurettae''), and the least cisco (''C. sardinella'') are anadromous, moving between salt water and fresh water. Many whitefish species or ecotypes, especially from the Great Lakes and the Alpine lakes of Europe, have gone extinct over the past century or are endangered. Among 12 freshwater fish considered extinct in Europe, 6 are ''Coregonus''. All ''Coregonus'' species are protected under appendix III of the Bern Convention,Council of Europe, 1979. Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Heritage. Be ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Taimen
''Hucho'' is a genus of large piscivorous salmonid fish known as taimens (from Finnish , 'trout', through ), and is closely related to Pacific trout and lenoks (all belonging to the same tribe in the subfamily Salmoninae). Native to the cold rivers and other freshwater habitats in Eurasia, they are threatened by overfishing and habitat loss. The earliest fossil remains of this genus are known from the Late Oligocene to middle Miocene of the Vitim Plateau in Russia. Younger remains are also known from the Late Miocene of Ukraine and the Late Pleistocene of Germany. Fossil specimens of a ''Hucho''-like salmonid have been recovered from the Clarkia fossil beds and other localities from the late Neogene of western North America, suggesting they may have potentially inhabited North America too. Species The currently recognized species in this genus are: In addition, the Sakhalin taimen was formerly placed in this genus, but genetics Genetics is the study of genes, ge ...

Floodplain
A floodplain or flood plain or bottomlands is an area of land adjacent to a river. Floodplains stretch from the banks of a river channel to the base of the enclosing valley, and experience flooding during periods of high Discharge (hydrology), discharge.Goudie, A. S., 2004, ''Encyclopedia of Geomorphology'', vol. 1. Routledge, New York. The soils usually consist of clays, silts, sands, and gravels deposited during floods. Because of regular flooding, floodplains frequently have high soil fertility since nutrients are deposited with the flood waters. This can encourage farming; some important agricultural regions, such as the Nile and Mississippi Basin, Mississippi Drainage basin, river basins, heavily exploit floodplains. Agricultural and urban regions have developed near or on floodplains to take advantage of the rich soil and freshwater. However, the Flood risk, risk of inundation has led to increasing efforts to Flood control, control flooding. Formation Most floodplai ...
