== Fauna == Several introduced species are present in the Yegorlyk catchment area. This includes the spotted forked catfish (Ictalurus punctatus, "Channel catfish"), which was imported for fish farming from the United States (Arkansas) in the 1970s and subsequently also spread outside the fish farms. Another fish is the gobioninae species Romanogobio pentatrichus, which migrated independently from the Kuban, its original distribution area, via the Nevinnomyssk Canal.
