This study proposes to study the diversity, abundance, and structure of the salmonid fish community of the high altitude headwaters of a critical arctic watershed (Katun-Ob' River) in the Altai Republic of the Russian Federation of States. No comprehensive ichthyological surveys have been ever been conducted in this region, and this study will represent one of the first to document the aquatic fauna, and the hydrographic and limnological correlates, of upstream habitats of arctic rivers. The proposed research will provide critical data that will be used to test the generality of ecological hypotheses developed through research at the Toolik Lake, Alaska LTER site. The PI is able to undertake this research in the Altai Republic, Central Siberia, because of a unique opportunity afforded by collaboration with researchers at the Russian Academy of Sciences. Because the logistical demands are extreme and the window for opportunity is time-sensitive, the PIs have chosen to submit a proposal of limited scope under the guidelines of the Small Grants for Exploratory Research (SGER) program.

本研究提出了研究的多样性，丰度和结构的鲑鱼类鱼类群落的高海拔源头的一个关键的北极流域（Katun-Ob'河）在俄罗斯联邦阿尔泰共和国的国家。没有全面的鱼类学调查已经在这一地区进行，这项研究将是第一个记录的水生动物，水文和湖沼相关，北极河流的上游栖息地。拟议中的研究将提供关键数据，这些数据将用于测试通过在阿拉斯加图里克湖LTER站点研究开发的生态假设的一般性。PI能够在西伯利亚中部的阿尔泰共和国进行这项研究，因为与俄罗斯科学院的研究人员合作提供了独特的机会。由于后勤需求是极端的，机会窗口是时间敏感的，PI选择提交一个有限范围的建议，根据探索性研究（SGER）计划的小额赠款的指导方针。
