RT Journal Article ID 2d3215651c7b2176 A1 Mironov, O. G. T1 Biological Problems of Oil Contamination of Seas JF Hydrobiological Journal JO HYD YR 2001 FD 2001-08-01 VO 37 IS 4 OP 16 AB Oil and oil products belong to the most important toxicants of the marine environment. Oil hydrocarbons enter seas and oceans by a natural route and mainly as a result of human economic activities. Oil contamination of the marine environment has stimulated investigations aimed at the study of the regularities of the influence of oil contamination on marine organisms and their communities, and also at the elucidation of their role in the processes of self-purification of sea waters from oil hydrocarbons. This made it possible to elaborate the methods of bioindication of oil contamination, and also to create a set of artificial hydrobiological systems for the purification of sea waters and sanation of the coastal areas of water.
