Rutilus feeds on plants, plankton, and benthos. Sexual maturity is attained in the third or fourth year. The females deposit as many as 100,000 eggs in April or May on the previous year’s vegetation. The males have breeding coloration. Rutilus has local commercial significance. The numbers of some commercial subspecies (R. r. aralensis, R. r. heckeli) are noticeably decreasing, and they urgently need protection. Rutilus
