Abstract There are 〉3500 lakes of area 〉0.1 km2 in Mongolia. Most have salinities 〉1 g 1−1 Of these saline lakes, 12 have areas 〉 50 km2 each, 10, areas 〉 100 km2, and 2, areas 〉 1000 km2. Limnological investigations of salt lakes include morphometric studies, and investigations of bottom sediments, thermal regimes, chemical features, and biological (including fish) characteristics. Data from these investigations now provide a much clearer picture of the limnology of saline lakes in central Asia.
