What to know
Lake in detail
- A shallow twin of Ozertse, joined to it by a short channel; the basin formed by glacial subsidence.
- The lake-specific description names seven typical species directly: roach, rudd, perch, ruffe, crucian carp, weatherfish and bleak.
- The source does not distinguish the crucian carp from the Prussian carp, so the record is matched to the native crucian carp only with moderate confidence.
- The shoreline is poorly developed and heavily boggy, and the water warms quickly.
- North-east of the town of Shatsk, closer to the village of Melnyky.

Comparative estimates show the area and volume shrinking; for a small boggy lake the edge of the water surface depends especially on season and method.
