Lake Baikal
The number of species, species diversity, and the quantitative characteristics of endemic Gastropoda occurring in Lake Baikal were investigated along four transects within the boulder-pebble littoral zone in the southern and middle basins of the lake. A total of 49 species of Gastropoda was identified. Among them 15 species dominated in different sections of the bottom. The influence of abiotic factors of the environment (geographic, geomorphological, and hydrodynamic) on the species diversity, number of species, and on the quantitative characteristics of Gastropoda was investigated.

Results of long-term investigations (2006−2008) of phytoplankton of the main watercourse of Minsk – the Svisloch River are given in the paper. The role of Bacillariophyta, including the class Centrophyceae and its individual representatives, in plankton algae cenoses was revealed. A total of 25 species and infraspecific taxa of Centrophyceae of the genera Aulacoseira (5), Cyclostephanos (1), Nyclotella (5), Discostella (1), Melosira (1), Puncticulata (1), Stephanodiscus (6), and Thalassiosira (5) was registered in phytoplankton of the river. Among them 20 species and infraspecific taxa proved to be new to the algae flora of the river. In this case, 5 species are new to Belarus ((Aulacoseira sp., Cyclotella atomus var. gracilis, Thalasiossira faurii, T. sp. 1, and T. sp. 2).

Both literature and original data on the diversity of plankton algae occurring in 12 large water bodies of the Goloseyevo National Natural Park, including the Didorovka, Kitayevo, and Orekhovatka ponds, were generalized in the paper. It has been found that phytoplankton of the studied water bodies was represented by 272 algae species (284 species and infraspecific taxa). The found algae belong to 9 divisions, 15 classes, 35 orders, 63 families, and 131 genera. The coefficient of community accounted for 31.2–47.9%, which is indicative of the difference in the ecological conditions of the formation of phytoplankton species composition in various ponds.

Experimental research has been carried out on farming of the narrow-clawed crayfish larvae in ponds and cages in the TPP waste water. It was shown that farming in such conditions during the first vegetation period was more effective, than in water bodies with natural temperature regime. In ponds in polyculture with fish crayfish summerlings reached 4.4−4.6 cm length and 2.69−3.34 g mass; when grown in cages with natural forage resources − 3.4−3.7 cm and 1.25−1.53 g, accordingly. Survival rate in the ponds amounted to 2.9−3.0%, in cages − 22.0−37.3%. Density of seeding should be about 70 specimens/m2. Cages of the open-air type have been recommended.

Effect of elevated concentration of the carbon dioxide on the growth rate of some Chlorophyta species at cultivation in different mineral media in the open-type cultivators has been studied. Species Chlorella vulgaris Beijer. (strains HPDP-119, LARG-3 HPDP-120), Desmodesmus communis (Hegew.) Hegew. (strain HPDP-109), D. armatus (Chod.) Hegew. (strain HPDP-110) were shown to have maximal growth rate and ability to utilize CO2.

phosphorus bearing herbicides

intensity of photosynthesis
Glyphosate bearing herbicides, which are used in agriculture, can enter continental water bodies and influence the functional activity of photosynthesizing organisms inhibiting or stimulating their functional activity. Low concentrations of these preparations (1−10 mg/l) mainly stimulate the process of photosynthesis both in phytoplankton and in algae cultures. The increase in the content of herbicides dissolved in the water is capable of inhibiting the development of these hydrobionts. Toxic influence of herbicides decreases with time, and also with increasing pH of the environment.

adaptation
Impact of the oil products on activity of ATPases of the carp gills has been studied. It was stated that low concentrations of diesel oil (1, 5 MPC) had no toxic effect, moreover they increased fish survivability. Toxic effect of oil (10, 20 MPC) mainly exhibits itself as changes of the cell membranes penetrability with participation of ATPase system.

Effect of some concentrations of the herbicide “genius” (active component − acetochlor) on juvenile Daphnia magna and Ceriodaphnia affinis in acute and chronic experiments has been studied. Vital, lethal and median concentration of the herbicide has been determined. At herbicide concentration 4 and 2 mg/dm3 C. affinis stopped reproduction at the level of the 3rd and 5th generation, accordingly. In concentration 0.01−1.00 mg/dm3 the herbicide caused suppressive effect, total number of posterity decreased by 32.6−43.5%. Concentration 0.001 mg/dm3 has been considered ineffective.

Effect of the heavy metal ions (Cu2+, Cd2+, Ni2+, Zn2+, Co2+, Mn2+) of the aquatic environment in different concentration on biological characteristics of the pond snail (Lymnaea stagnalis L.) from the radioactively contaminated zone has been studied. Ionizing radiation is an aggravation factor for animals affected by toxic medium. Synergism of radiation and heavy metal ions impact on the reproductive system of the pond snail was noted. At this values of biological parameters were lower than those in the control group.
