The plot of the book "Рыбы бассейна Амура" (The Fish of the Amur Basin) revolves around the story of a group of scientists who embark on an expedition to explore the unique and diverse ecosystem of the Amur River basin, which flows through the Russian Far East and China. The team, led by the charismatic and brilliant ichthyologist, Dr. Ivanov, is determined to uncover the secrets of this remote and largely unexplored region, home to over 200 species of fish, many of which are found nowhere else in the world. As they journey deeper into the basin, they encounter challenges such as treacherous terrain, harsh weather conditions, and the threat of poachers, but also make groundbreaking discoveries that shed light on the complex interplay between technology and nature. Through their research, the team discovers that the Amur River's ecosystem is facing unprecedented changes due to human activities such as deforestation, pollution, and overfishing, threatening the very survival of the fish populations and the local communities that depend on them. The scientists must race against time to study and understand these changes before it's too late, and to develop a personal paradigm for perceiving the technological process of developing modern knowledge as the basis for the survival of humanity and the survival of the unification of people in a warring state.
