V. I. Vernadsky was the first who applied biogeochemical methods in studies of the natural radioactivity, carried out radiogeological researches and revealed role of radioactive elements in biohydrosphere. Results of these studies
were of essential importance for solution of practical tasks, connected with search for uranium ores. Development and wide distribution of the nuclear technologies, development of the nuclear energy sector, accidents in the
enterprises with nuclear technologies and nuclear weapon testing led to wide distribution of the biologically hazardous radionuclides in biosphere. This conditioned urgency of the system radioecological researches of the terrestrial ecosystems, surface water bodies and the World Ocean, and necessity to solve urgent issues of the global hydroecological and radioecological safety.

abnormally high temperature of water
It has been found that in 2010 vegetation season was characterized by abnormally high temperature of water registered in summer and autumn as compared to the average long term data. The response of phytoplankton consisted in the presence of several peaks differing in the structure of the
complex of dominant species, and also in the quantitative indices of their development.

The list of macrozoobenthos species found in the Chogray Reservoir in 2009 is given in the paper. Seasonal dynamics of macrozoobenthos numbers and biomass were investigated. The distribution of benthos organisms in depth was analyzed. Relationship was established between the quantitative characteristics of macrozoobenthos development and character of bottom sediments.

lakes of Kiev
The species composition of algae occurring in various biotopes of 13 lakes located within the territory of Kiev was investigated. A total of 278 species of algae was found in water column, whereas 305 their species – in the fouling of higher aquatic plants. It has been found that the taxonomic structure of phytoplankton essentially differed from that of phytoepiphyton. The distribution of the quantitative indices of algae development over various biotopes was also non-uniform. In water column, mainly Cyanoprokaryota predominated in terms of their numbers, whereas Cyanoprokaryota and Dinophyta – in terms of their
biomass. In the fouling of higher aquatic plants, Bacillariophyta, Chlorophyta, and Streptophyta prevailed both in terms of their numbers and in terms of their
biomass. In plankton, the complex of dominant species was represented mainly by Cyanoprokaryota, whereas in epiphyton – by Bacillariophyta. Mainly Chlorophyta occurred with a high frequency in water column, whereas Bacillariophyta – in the fouling of higher aquatic plants.

The article deals with food spectra and trophic relations between the brown trout (Salmo trutta morpha fario L.) and European grayling (Thymallus thymallus L.) in rivers of the Transcarpathian region. Strained trophic relationships between studied fishes are possible due to significant overlap of the feeding spectra over summer and autumn because of low biomass of zoobenthos in the studied rivers.

Impact of the organophosphoric compound (dimethoate) of concentration 0.15, 0.30 and 0.5 mg/dm3 on activity of the transamination enzymes in the carp's liver, gills and muscles was studied. Activity of aspartate aminotransferase in most cases did not change, whereas activity of alanine aminotransferase was suppressed, especially in the carp's muscles.
