On the surveyed reservoirs, for the first time in the last 40 years, traces of the life of the species were recorded: burrows and forage tables with the remains of freshwater shells. The variety of types of shelters in combination with a stable feed base indicates the preservation of small local populations of this species in the surveyed floodplain reservoirs of the Sozh River.
