The data on the species composition and quantitative distribution of ichthyoplankton and zooplankton in different areas of the Mingechaur reservoir from April to October 2013 are presented. It has been shown that the structure of the species composition and maximum abundance of ichthyoplankton are comparable to those from April to October 1988, i.e. before the negative changes in the ecosystem of the Mingechaur reservoir occurred in the 1990. There have been registered about 15 species of pelagic fish eggs and larvae belonging to two families. The most numerous and widely distributed species were bream Abramis brama, roach Rutilus rutilus caspius, river perch Sander lucioperca and shemaya Alburnus chalcoides. It has been revealed that the maximum concentrations of ichthyoplankton during the studied period fall to the areas of Samukh and Geranboy (at depths up to 15 m).
