In the littoral zone of Koporskaya Bay adjacent to the discharge canals of the Leningrad NPS, the number of zooplankton species, and also their numbers and biomass, decreases, whereas the trophic structure of the community simplifies. Mainly eurythermic and euryhalinic species dominate in zooplankton. In this case, stenothermic and stenohalinic species either eliminate from the community, or their abundance essentially decreases. The structure of
zooplankton changes in space.

introduction
On the basis of complex studies of the genus Trapa L. in nature and in open and protected beds of the O. V. Fomin Botanical garden, four species were confirmed: T. natans L., T. rossica V. Vassil., T. pseudocolchica V. Vassil., T. borysthenica V. Vassil. Three taxa T. rossica V. Vassil. var. pseudorossica (V. Vassil.) A. Didukh comb. nov., T. rossica V. Vassil. var. ucrainica (V. Vassil.) A. Didukh comb. nov., T. pseudocolchica V. Vassil. var. macrorhiza (Dobrocz.) A. Didukh comb. nov. were proposed to be changed from the species rank to the variety rank. A key for identification of the species and varieties of Trapa in Ukrainian flora was compiled. The main diagnostic and morphological characteristics for identification of species and varieties (mainly of the fruit) have been determined, and those that cannot be used for identification because of high variability or similarity.

Paper deals with results of microbiological monitoring of the water areas of the operating oil fields of the West Shelf of the southern section of the Caspian Sea. Conditions are discussed of the microbial biocenosis forming, which
participates in rehabilitation of normal characteristics of the marine environment, polluted by oil and oil products. Parameters are determined which enable to predict numbers and potential activity of microorganisms, participating
in purification of the marine water from oil pollution and easily-oxidized organic matters.

Content of proteins, ammonia, glutamine, activity of glutaminase and glutamine synthetase in tissues of the grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) under the impact of lead ions and different temperatures have been investigated.
Values of the studied parameters depended on temperature and exposure time. Increase of temperature and exposure time resulted in intensification of ammonia production due to of proteins decomposition related to providing of the energy
demands on adaptation processes. Rate of ammonia production was higher than rate of its binding by glutamine synthetase to non-toxic glutamine by glutamine pathway and its excretion through the gills.

index of filtering activity
Dependence of filtration and respiration rate in the flat oyster on water temperature was studied. Parameters of the exponential equation of relation of the considered functions with the body mass within the temperature interval 10−23°C were determined. Specific filtration rate varied over the range 0.88−2.37 l/hour·g, regression coefficient − 0.435−0.513, specific respiration rate varied over the range 0.291−0.725 mg O2/hour·specimen, regression coefficient − 0.688−0.773. Relation F/R (index of filtering activity) at different temperature varied insignificantly − from 4.41 to 4.82 l/ml O2. Relatively stable relation of filtration and respiration rates over natural seasonal temperature
rhythm indicates compensatory modification of filtration and metabolism intensity under changing temperature.

Results of the study of seasonal changes in the content of the dissolved and suspended forms of silicon in the water of the Kanev Reservoir (the upper section, Obolon Bay) and their dependence on the development of diatoms are
discussed in the paper. The concentration of the dissolved silicon accounted for 1.0−6.8 mg/L, whereas that of the suspended silicon − 0.05−0.4 mg/L. During the period of investigations, the contribution of diatoms to the total number of species accounted for 33%, whereas their contribution to the total biomass of phytoplankton was 63%. It has been found that the increase in their biomass in May − June was accompanied by a decrease in the concentration of the dissolved silicon, and also in the increase in the content of its suspended form. The
distribution of silicon among the abiotic and biotic components of suspended matter of the studied water body was investigated. It has been found that during the period of diatoms vegetation a relative content of biogenic silicon in the composition of suspended matter increased up to 42−45%, whereas its minimal values (1−2%) were observed in wintertime.
