    Infinite- and finite-dimensional lattices of Lotka–Volterra type are derived that possess Lax representations and have large families of first integrals. The obtained systems are Hamiltonian and contain perturbations of Volterra lattice. Examples of Liouville-integrable 4-dimensional Hamiltonian Lotka-Volterra systems are presented. Several 5-dimensional Lotka–Volterra systems are found that have Lax representations and are Liouville-integrable on constant levels of Casimir functions.
