The Teletskoye Lake field station. The Chany field station. The Karasuck station.

  The Teletskoye Lake field station.

The Teletskoye Lake field station in the Altai region is situated in the south of West Siberia, in latitude 51040' N, longitude 87045' E.

The field station is located on the shore of the Teletskoye Lake in southern taiga. The region is characterised by great biodiversity of endemic, relict and rare species and forms.

The main scientific trends:
- long-term study of small mammals, fish and zooplancton populations;
- systematics and phylogeny of the mammalian cestodes;
- ecology of southern mountain taiga ungulates in nature and in captivity.

European mammologists, ornythologists, hydrobiologists, parasitologists, enthomologists as well as students .

There are 3 field cabins for 10-12 persons, laboratory buildings and nurseries for breeding, motor boats and phone.
Total daily expenses - $30-40.

The Chany field station is situated in the central part of the Barabinskaya forest- steppe, near the south-east of the Chany lake.

It serves as the field station and laboratory for ornithological, ichthiological, hydrobiological and parasitological purposes. The station is located in the region of nesting and mass migratory accumulations of waterfowl birds and in spawning routes of fish schools.
Special attention is given to the migration of birds and population ecology of waterfowl birds and fish of the family Cyprinidae. Trophic and parasitic relationships between invertebrates and vertebrates are studied.

There is the experience in joint collaboration with scientists from Holland, England, Germany, Finland, Poland, USA and Canada.

The total area of the station is 8 ha, there is the laboratory building (12O2 m2), living rooms (18O2 m2), dining room (202 m2) garage, storage facilities, boats and phone connection.

The Karasuck station is situated in the south-west of the Novosibirsk region,12 km of the Karasuck town in the forest-steppe zone on the shore of the Krotovaya Ljaga lake.

It serves as the field basis to the biologists of different institutions and specialities to study the forest-steppe zone. Special attention is given to the biocenoses of the lake depressions, as the main landscape constituent. The proper scientific trend is to breed rare and disappearing species of animals and birds.

Zoos and specialised nurseries to maintain biological diversity of animals.

The total area of the station is 11 ha. The breeding enclosure complex occupies 3 000 m2. The station has in its possession 9 habitable premises (220 m2) , 4 laboratory buildings (450m2) , dining hall (100 m2), garage, workshop and storage facilities and phone. All expenses will cover about $10-15/day.
