Earlier analysis of a seasonal succession of fish parasites assemblage was, as a rule, performed in May-October. At the same time, winter season can be important in seasonal dynamics of the assemblage. In the present work, quantitative analysis of complete seasonal dynamics of species structure of fish assemblage parasites with an example of the adult minnow of the river Pechora was performed. The new stable state of parasites assemblage of the minnow, corresponding to winter season of its existence, is revealed. Irrespective of population density or a biomass of parasitic assemblages of the minnow, obtained dynamic phase portraits well reflect their seasonal succession.
