phytoplankton
numbers
biomass
primary and specific production.
The structure and production potential of phytoplankton were studied in two large lakes of Asia, including the Baikal and Khanka lakes differing in their hydrological conditions. It has been found that the studied algae flora is saturated. The environmental conditions in the lakes are rather favorable to the development of algae. The functional characteristics of phytoplankton depended mainly on the regime of illumination, dimensional composition of algae, intensity of their development, vegetation stage, and also on the peculiarities of dominant forms biology.

It has been found that pelagic zooplankton of the Shatsk lakes is highly diverse in its composition, the quantitative indices of its development are rather high, whereas its structure is in balance. In water bodies differing in their limnological type and trophic level, above mentioned indices vary over a wide range. Results of bioindication suggest that zooplankton communities are in good state, whereas the state of the ecosystems of all groups of the lakes is satisfactory.

The paper is dealt with the study of the distribution of epiphyton algae on higher aquatic plants of various ecological groups in water bodies of Kiev. It has been found that the most favorable conditions for their development are formed on submerged plants, where the number of algae species and their infraspecific taxa is higher than that on plants of other ecological groups.

The influence of the surface petrol film on the numbers and luminescent properties of Chlamydomonas actinochloris was investigated during the process of its culture development. It has been found that the number of cells decreased only during the first day of the experiment. Photoluminescence investigations have shown that changes in the functional characteristics of algae were observed also only at the beginning of the experiment. Restoration of their state was registered at a later time.

Tissue-specific peculiarities of the antioxidant (AO) system and lipid peroxidation (LPO) of the bivalve mollusk Anadara inaequivalvis have been studied. Maximal activity of glutathione peroxidase, high glutathione content and low TBA-active products content were revealed in Anadara's podium. In hepatopancreas was observed maximal intensity of LPO and higher activity of glutathione reductase, catalase and superoxide dismutase as compared with podium. Among considered tissues maximal activity of AO system enzymes and minimal glutathione content were noted in gills.

toxic impact
stress-reaction
nonspecific adaptation syndrome.
The changes of activity of acid phosphatases of hydrobionts of different taxa, and DNAase of the snail Viviparus viviparus L. as a response to acute intoxication by heavy metals, benzine and phenol were studied. Enzyme activity periodically changed depending on duration of the toxic impact. Shape of the enzyme activity curves in the acute experiment was similar, independently on species and toxicant. The dynamics of the enzymatic activity is supposed to be a component of the nonspecific adaptation syndrome of hydrobionts. It could serve as a reliable basis for estimation of the integrated toxic pollution of water.

Long-term dynamics of 137Cs distribution over the organs and tissues of fishes occurring in the cooling pond of the Chernobyl NPS were studied after the accident in 1986. It has been found that 1−4 years later the differentiation of 137Cs content in the organs and tissues of fishes was maximal and remained rather stable. Until 2010, the highest specific activity of 137Cs was registered in fish muscles, whereas its lowest specific activity − in fish fat. In this case, other organs and tissues occupied the intermediate place.
