algae communities of the ice
Lake Baikal.
Results of comprehensive studies of the ice cores taken in 2007−2008 in the coastal and open parts of the southern section of Lake Baikal are given in the paper. The studied biotope was characterized by a high biodiversity, including bacteria, Actinomycetes, flagellates, and algae. The composition of organisms, and also the quantitative characteristics of their development, changed from year to year and over the area of water of the lake. The biological activity of the ice was rather high. Hydrochemical and hydrobiological analysis has shown that the layers of cores with a high concentration of organisms were characterized by a low content of silicon, phosphorus, and nitrate. In this case, the process of organism decomposition resulted in the increase in the concentration of ammonium in ice column.

The distribution of invertebrate species over biotic groups (macrozoobenthos, phytophilous fauna, and epifauna of solid substrata) and over various water bodies of the Kiliya delta of the Danube River was studied during one vegetation period. It has been found that the development of the macrofauna depends on the variety of substrata, and also on the types of water bodies.

A total of more than 30 species and varieties of centric diatoms of 10 genera was found in phytoplankton of the lower reaches of the Oka River. They included algae species − new for the flora of the river (Actinocyclus normanii, Contricridra weissflogii, Cyclotella ambigua, C. choctawhatcheeana, C. marina, Stephanodiscus delicatus, S. volgensis, Thalassiosira faurii, and T. incerta), and also for the flora of Russia - Cyclotella marina. Both freshwater and brackish water algae species, and also brackish water and freshwater organisms, were found among representatives of Centrophyceae. This phenomenon is accounted for by the dynamics of abiotic conditions (climatic changes, the increase in water salinity, in the degree of contamination, and also in the trophic level) registered in water bodies of the Volga River basin from the second half of the XX century.

in vitro cultivation.
Peculiarities of the duckweed Lemna minor L. cultivation in vitro at the presence of Cr(VI) have been investigated. Suppressive effect of hexavalent chromium depended on its concentration. The thalli number increment decreased as Cr(VI) concentration from 50 to 400 mg/l. Over in vitro cultivation Cr(VI) was reduced to Cr(III) in the cultural medium; Cr(VI) transportation into the duckweed cells and reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) directly in the cells also have been observed. Time of Cr(VI) concentration decrease to zero depended on its initial concentration (50...200 mg/l) and amounted to 6−10 days at ratio of thalli number volume (ml) of medium 10/1.

The content of hydrocarbons in the cultural medium of some species of Cyanophyta (Cyanoprokaryota) and Chlorophyta was studied by the method of determining oil products in the water. It has been shown that the presence of hydrocarbons of algae origin can introduce errors into the assessment of the degree of contamination of water bodies by oil products. The composition and amount of hydrocarbon compounds of microalgae origin were analyzed.

bivalve mollusks
the Black Sea
Parameters of the antioxidant (AO) system and lipid peroxidation (LPO) in tissues of the Black Sea bivalve mollusks with different ecological and physiological characteristics (mussel, Anadara and oyster) have been studied. Activity of glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase, catalase, superoxide dismutase, content of reduced glutathione and TBA-reactive products have been determined. AO parameters and LPO rate in the mussel's tissues in most cases were maximal. Hepatopancreas has been found to be of essential importance in antioxidant defense of mussel, gills and podium − of Anadara. Activity of superoxide dismutase and catalase in gills and glutathione peroxidase in muscles of hemoglobin-containing Anadara was twice as much than those of mussel and oyster. Content of glutathione in podium of Anadara was four times higher than those of mussel. In most oyster tissues values of studied parameters have been found to be lower than in other species, except of glutathione reductase.

Results are presented of parasitological examination of sterlet introduced from Ukraine to the fish farms of Vietnam. Totally in sterlet cultivated in fish farms 32 species of parasites were found, including Protozoa − 15, Platyhelminthes − 4, Nematoda − 2, Annelida − 2, Acanthocephala − 3, and Crustacea − 6. An analysis is made of the consequences and prospects of the sterlet introduction and evaluation of the epizootic significance of its parasites in Vietnam.

planktonic communities.
The changes of the vertical profile of the bioluminescence field intensity over night in the Black Sea coastal waters have been studied. It was shown that by bioluminescence dynamics the water column can be divided into two layers: the upper (0−35 m) and deep-water (35−60 m). The peculiarities of the processes in these layers were noted. It was revealed that the main cause of variability of the bioluminescence field intensity is the vital rhythms of the planktonic communities.
