What to know
Lake in detail
- Part of the flow-through cascade Liutsymyr–Kruhle–Dovhe–Plotychchia–Krymne.
- The park's official route description gives an area of 12 ha, a length of 550 m, a width of 300 m and a maximum depth of 3 m.
- A correctly located lake description names pike and crucian carp directly; no modern scientific control survey has been published.
- The source does not resolve the crucian carp to a species, so the record is matched to the native crucian carp only with moderate confidence.
- Not to be confused with the lake of the same name near the village of Zamostia in Kamin-Kashyrskyi district, whose water-management profile describes a different water body.

Hydrology
Hydrological connections
The Shatsk lakes are not isolated bodies of water but a connected network. Canals cut between the late nineteenth and the mid twentieth century, along with natural channels, redistribute water between the lakes and the rivers.
