Abstract

Based on data collected from samples taken every August from 2018 through 2023, the copepod composition of the Kama River has been studied within the Volga–Kama and Kama Reaches of Kuybyshev Reservoir, as well as in Nizhnekamsk and Votkinsk reservoirs. The East Asian species T. taihokuensis (Harada, 1931) was first recorded at the Kama River estuary in 2018, and by 2023 it had colonized the Volga–Kama reach. In 2022, the invader was first registered in the lower section of the Kama Reach of Kuybyshev and Nizhnekamsk reservoirs. The northern border of its distribution is located near the mouth of the Belaya River (56° N) 320 km from the confluence of the Kama and Volga rivers.
