Population studies of littoral species make it possible to identify deep lake ecosystems’ response to climate change and the signs of undesirable and irreversible changes in such ecosystems. The previously available data on the population indicators for the golarctic amphipodа Gammarus lacustris (Sars, 1863) and the widely settled Baikal endemic amphipoda Gmelinoides fasciatus (Stebbing, 1899), both numerous in the Lake Arakhley littoral zone, refer to high-water years. In the extremely low-water years 2017 and 2018 Gm. fasciatus and G. lacustris were the most numerous zoobenthos components of the Lake Arakhley littoral zone. The peak of the abundance of Gm. fasciatus and G. lacustris egg-bearing females in the Lake Arahley littoral zone was recorded in early June. In 2018 Gm. fasciatus and G. lacustris juveniles also appeared in early June. At the same time, in 2017, most female amphipods were in the early development stages of the egg mass. In 2017 and 2018 the Gm. fasciatus the seasonal dynamics of population size structure was generally similar and was characterized by a pronounced maximum. The size structure dynamics of G. lacustris population varied by year and indicated a complex size and age population composition. In extremely shallow 2017–2018 the life cycle of most Gm. fasciatus individuals in Lake Arakhley was 12 to 14 months, G. lacustris — 13 to 14 months. The effects of the decrease in lake water level from 2000 to 2017 on the amphipod population indicators were not revealed, which may be due to the fact that the decrease was rather insignificant: 10% of the lake’s depth in 2000. The revealed population indicator variability in the adjacent years at the same water level shows the species’ sensitivity to the lake thermal regime and weather changes. According to the results of the study, we suggest that the shift in the egg mass development, the shift in the timing of juveniles’ emergence, and the interannual shifts in the Gm. fasciatus and G. lacustris population size structure indicate changes in the lake Arakhley littoral communities and the regional climate.
