The Vistula Lagoon is one of the main spawning grounds of Baltic herring (Clupea harengus membras L.) in the southeastern Baltic Sea.
The principal factors which have a prevalent effect on spawning timing included the time of ice breakup and clearing from the lagoon, which is related to the severity of the preceding winter, further warming processes and water salinity values.
The trend towards milder winters and the early occurrence of spring should be mentioned, and the distinct shift of herring spawning in the Vistula Lagoon towards an earlier time and at lower temperatures was observed in spite of the positive trend of mean water temperature in spring.

The data presented in the figure is the summary of the many samples collected along the whole shoreline of the study area and so they do not reflect the local diversity of gammarid populations connected with different ecological conditions (especially salinity) at particular stations.
