Morphological characteristics of the populations of black-striped pipefish Syngnathus abaster Risso, 1827 (Pisces, Actinopterygii, Syngnathidae) in some North Caucasian water bodies
The data on the values of 6 meristic and 20 plastic characteristics as well as the main length-weight characteristics of the black-striped pipefish from three North Caucasian water bodies (lakes Sazalʼnikskoe and Staraya Kuban, Chograi Reservoir) are given.

| Summary: | The data on the values of 6 meristic and 20 plastic characteristics as well as the main length-weight characteristics of the black-striped pipefish from three North Caucasian water bodies (lakes Sazalʼnikskoe and Staraya Kuban, Chograi Reservoir) are given. Statistically significant differences were found in the average values of the most meristic and plastic characteristics of the populations. It has been found that the population from the Chograi Reservoir is characterized by the highest degree of morphological isolation. Possible ways of penetrating of the species into the studied water bodies are discussed.
