On the basis of analysis of the literature sources regarding research of different types of the water bodies (in particular, big and small lakes, rivers and reservoirs of Ukraine, Russia, Belarus and Baltic countries) the modern ideas about role of zooplankton in the system of bioindication of organic and toxic pollution and ecological status of hydroecosystems has been elucidated.

micro- and meiozoobenthos.
Dynamics of colonization of various mountain rock plates by the microflora and organisms of micro- and meiozoobenthos were investigated under experimental conditions. The plates were placed at the depth of 14 m in the littoral zone of Lake Baikal. It has been found that the development of micro- and meiozoobenthos under experimental conditions varies from season to season. Its seasonal dynamics are closely similar to those of animals occurring on stones in the littoral zone of Lake Baikal. It has been shown that hydrobionts possess selectivity in colonization of mountain rocks. In terms of fouling abundance, the studied mountain rocks can be arranged in the following order: granite, marble, amphibolite.

quantitative characteristics.
The taxonomic composition and quantitative characteristics of macrozoobenthos of the Danube River lakes were studied in 2009−2010. On the whole, 178 species were found in the littoral zone, whereas 80 species − in the open section. The largest number of species (166) was found in Lake Yalpug, whereas their lowest number − in Lake Kitay. Oligochaeta and Chironomidae dominated in terms of their numbers, whereas Bivalvia − in terms of their biomass.

The information on the first record of Microcystis botrys Teiling and Lemmermanniella flexa Hindak (Cyanoprokaryota) in Ukraine (Obolon Bay of the Kanev Reservoir within the territory of Kiev) is given in the paper. The morphological characteristics of the found populations and ecological conditions are described.

The conception, methodology and issues of the actual sanitary hydrobiology under the multifactor anthropogenic impact are presented. Bioindication by communities of the aquatic organisms is discussed. The methods of bioindication, assessment and improvement of the aquatic ecosystems' ecological-sanitary state are considered.

Dynamics of the density, chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b content, the total content of carotenoids and protein were investigated in the batch culture of Dunaliella salina. The kinetic characteristics of Dunaliella were calculated in terms of its biomass, and also in terms of the content of chlorophyll, carotenoids, and protein. It has been shown that the maximum biomass of D. salina, as well as the maximum content of protein and photosynthetic pigments, is observed at the density of the culture of 1.5-3.0 g OM·L−1.

water bodies of the Chornobyl exclusion zone.
Cytogenetic damages were studied in the root meristem cells of the common reed from the water bodies of the Chornobyl exclusion zone with different level of radionuclide contamination. The chromosomal aberrations rate and their range were analyzed. Frequency of chromosomal aberrations in plants from the water bodies within the Chornobyl exclusion zone exceeds frequency of spontaneous mutagenesis in hydrobionts 2−6 times and is in power dependence on the absorbed dose.
