This review summarises some results of investigation carried out by Russian scientists, concerning the influence of land/inland water ecotones on fish. The main objectives and hypotheses developing in the framework UNESCO MAB working group "Fish and land/inland ecotones" in Russia are: comparison of fish population in salmonid rivers affected or non-affected by lake-rivers ecotones; small scale ecotone studies of model and restored microhabitat of salmonid rivers; comparison of the ecotone patterns and fish abundance in two rivers differing by historical origin of their ichthyofauna; the analysis of the effect of cattle ranching on fish assemblages distribution, dynamics and productivity along a river course in the steppe zone; and the influence of periodically drying up lakes and ecotones on the dynamics of fish populations in the connected river system.
