&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Lake Sevan in Armenia is the largest freshwater lake in the Transcaucasus region and is one of the largest high-altitude freshwater lakes in Eurasia (Babayan et al., &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;2006&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;). Armenia is a small (29,743 km&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;span&gt;2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span&gt;), land- locked country that is comparatively poor in natural resources and nearly surrounded by borders that are blockaded by its neighbors (Babayan et al., &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;2006&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;; Rhoades, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;2008 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;and references therein; CIA, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;2010&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;). Despite these obstacles, ecological research and environmental restoration efforts continue. For the most part, ecological research in Lake Sevan during the twentieth century was restricted to Soviet-era journals, or was otherwise unavailable to western scientists.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
