The total yields of the all well established light meson resonances (up to the {phi}(1020) meson) are estimated in neutrino-nucleus charged current interactions at Left-Pointing-Angle-Bracket E{sub {nu}} Right-Pointing-Angle-Bracket Almost-Equal-To 10 GeV, using the data obtained with SKAT bubble chamber. The yield of {phi} meson in neutrino production is obtained for the first time. For some resonances, the yields in the forward and backward hemispheres in the hadronic c.m.s. are also extracted. From the comparison of the obtained and available higher-energy data, an indication is obtained that the resonance yields rise almost linearly as a function of the mass W of the neutrino produced hadronic system. The fractions of pions originating from the light resonance decays are inferred.
