The Yenisey River begins at the city of Kyzyl in the republic of Tyva (Tuva), Russia, at the confluence of its headstreams, the Great (Bolshoy) Yenisey and the Little (Maly) Yenisey, or Ka-Khem. The river runs for 2,167 miles (3,487 kilometres) on or near the border between eastern and western Siberia before emptying into the Kara Sea, a marginal sea of the Arctic Ocean.

The Yenisey River and its tributaries are rich in fish, including grayling, trout, lenok, roach, dace, sterlet, goldilocks, whitefish (genus Coregonus), Siberian lamprey, Siberian sturgeon, Alpine char, carp, pike, and many others. The estuary is rich in the economically valuable sturgeon. The lower reaches of the Yenisey are favoured in summer by migrant waterfowl, and the muskrat has adapted to the channels of the delta.
