The objective of studies carried out in 2011 was to investigate the most important biological traits of the spawning population of the vendace from Lake Lake Śremskie lying in the Międzychód-Sieraków Lakeland and to compare the results to the literature data. The biological material was obtained in the autumn, immediately before spawning. To achieve the objective of the research the following features were studied: sex structure, growth rate, fish condition, fertility as well as biometric and meristic traits of the studied vendance. At the same time, the most important physico-chemical water indices were determined to provide a characteristic of the environmental conditions. On the basis of physical and chemical indicators the status of water was classified as good. The vendace from the investigated water body may be classified to the group of very good growth rate (significantly above the average), reaching in the third year of life on average the total length of 22.4 cm. Fulton’s index of fish condition ranged from 0.78 to 1.25 with a mean value of 0.89. The mean absolute fertility was 12714 eggs, while relative fertility was 11994 eggs per 100 g of body mass. Considering the quantitative traits, the fish population of Lake Śremskie differs non-significantly regarding the greatest and the smallest body height from the populations with a good growth rate described by Bernatowicz. The meristic traits of the studied population do not significantly deviate from the values reported by other researchers, except for filtration processes.
