Results of long-term studies on the dynamics of formation and development of macrozoobenthos of the Kiev reservoir are given in the paper. The species composition of benthic invertebrates and the quantitative indices of its development in the reservoir were studied within the framework of the proposed scheme of its ecological zoning taken into account the influence of natural and anthropic factors. The scale of the distribution of invertebrates of the Ponto-Caspian complex and the reasons of this phenomenon are analyzed.

The paper deals with microbiological investigation of the Amur River estuary pollution by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons discharged into the Amur estuary with the river runoff and affect the intensity of the coastal water areas self-purification. Peculiarities of biodegradation of naphthalene, phenanthrene and their transformation products (salicylate, pyrocatechol) under co-oxidation with autochtonous organic matters, which are synthesized by complex biocenosis in shallow water, have been considered.

The microbial community isolated from the stomach of Epischura baicalensis was studied using the method of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Archaea were found under the ice in the water column at the deep water station of the Southern Baikal using the ARCH915a probe. A high concentration of zooplankton with a predominance of Epischura baicalensis (80−90%) was registered in the upper layer of water during this period. The increase in the concentration of methane during the period of mass development of Epischura baicalensis suggests that the Baikal Archaea can be symbiotic organisms of this animal, and also producers of methane into the water column.

allelopathic interaction
Allelopathic interaction between plankton and periphyton algae, which depends on their species affiliation and age, was established. It has been found that various strains of the same species can essentially differ in their allelopathic activity. Allelopathic interaction influences the intensity of the growth and photosynthesis of algae.

inorganic nitrogen
The activity of nitrate reductase was determined in unialgal cultures of 29 species of microalgae of various divisions. A direct relationship was established between the activity of nitrate reductase and the content of nitrate in the water. Nitrate reductase activity in the studied algae can be indicative of the contribution of these plants to the process of nitrate transformation.

Paper deals with content of some protein metabolites (total protein content, content of albumins, globulins, urea and residual nitrogen) and protein index in different tissues (hemolymph) and organs (hepatopancreas, mantle) of intact and infested by Trematoda freshwater mollusks Planorbarius purpura and Lymnaea stagnalis. Effect of acclimation duration (2 and 14 days) on these parameters in P. purpura has been studied.
