What populations of omul are there in Baikal?
In Baikal there are 4 populations of omul: the Selenga, the Chivyrkui, the North-Baikalian and the Posolsky. Some scientists single out the Barguzin population which at the present time has practically perished due to heavy pollution of the river Barguzin. The Posolsky population is artificially bred from roe incubated in special apparatuses. So, there are only 3 populations of omul in Baikal, all of them are rather inactive.
