Data on the species composition and development dynamics of phytoplankton complexes in the newly constructed Bureya Reservoir are given. Reservoir phytoplankton has been found to contain 119 alga species (121 taxa, considering the varieties) from nine divisions. Alga species composition, their abundance and biomass, and the saprobic characteristic of species were used to evaluate the environmental state of the reservoir. Reservoir water was classified as “nearly pure” and “weakly polluted”, belonging to the II–III purity class. The low values of phytoplankton abundance and biomass allow the Bureya Reservoir to be classified as an oligotrophic water body.
