Freshwater fish (including migratory and semi-migratory) include 25 taxa from 18 genera, 12 families and 9 orders, among them species of whitefish predominate. The fauna of marine fish is represented by 4 species from 4 genera, 3 families and 3 orders. According to the types of areals, marine fish have their main distribution in the Arctic.
