| Abstract | Covariant tensor representations of ${\mathfrak{gl}}_{m|n}$ occur as irreducible
components of tensor powers of the natural $(m+n)$-dimensional representation. We construct a basis of each covariant
representation and give explicit formulas for the action of the generators of ${\mathfrak{gl}}_{m|n}$ in this basis. The basis has the property that the natural Lie subalgebras ${\mathfrak{gl}}_m$ and ${\mathfrak{gl}}_n$ act by the classical Gelfand--Tsetlin formulas. The main role in the construction is played by the fact
that the subspace of ${\mathfrak{gl}}_m$-highest vectors in any
finite-dimensional irreducible representation of ${\mathfrak{gl}}_{m|n}$ carries a structure of an irreducible module
over the Yangian $\text{Y}({\mathfrak{gl}}_n)$. One consequence is
a new proof of the character formula for the covariant representations first found by Berele and Regev and by Sergeev.
