Mechanisms of Ecological Adaptation of Rare Fish Species in the Conditions of the Khorezm Oasis

The Khorezm oasis is located in the lower reaches of the Amu Darya basin and is a complex hydro-ecological region, characterized by instability of the hydrological regime, a high degree of water salinity, and increased anthropogenic pressure. These factors have a significant impact on the composition of aquatic ecosystems and ichthyofauna in the region, especially on the distribution and stability of rare and environmentally vulnerable fish species.
