Young biologist from KarRC RAS, who studies mechanisms of adaptation to living in the North in pink salmon, awarded national presidential scholarship
Diana Manoilova, Research Engineer at the Institute of Biology KarRC RAS, Doctoral Student, has been awarded national presidential scholarship. The biologist studies the biochemical adaptations of pink salmon to living in the north. Introduced into Kola Peninsula rivers in the mid-20th century, pink salmon is now a valuable commercial species. Scientists are investigating how a fish with such a short, two-year, life span and no landlocked forms has succeeded in becoming integrated into new ecosystems. The results of this work can be used for the sustainable management of pink salmon commercial stocks and for monitoring the state of salmonid populations
