Abstract: In the long-term aspect (from 2000 to 2020 years), there is a decrease in the growth rate of individuals of the muksun of the Ob River. These changes occur against the background of population decline, are unnatural and associated with long-term highly selective fishing and climate warming. As a result of climate warming, the feeding conditions of the muksun have worsened, as well as competition from other more thermophilic species has increased. Prolonged intensive and highly selective fishing is the main negative factor that has led to a change in the population size/age structure. In general, the changes are in the direction of stunting, and a further decrease in reproductive capacities of muksun specimens and productivity indicators of its population.
