Data on the intensity and rate of oxygen uptake depending on the body mass of endemic Enchytraeidae Mesenchytraeus bungei Michaelsen occurring in Lake Baikal obtained under experimental conditions are discussed in the paper. These results along with literature data for the other species of Oligochaeta were used for obtaining two main equations. The equations of regression describing respiration of aquatic Oligochaeta (Q = 0.097 W0.72) and that of representatives of the family Enchytraeidae (Q = 0.098 W0.86) are given in the standard form. The influence of various factors on the rate and intensity of oxygen uptake in different species of Oligochaeta is also discussed.

A dependence of daily diet on body's mass in the order Decapoda was calculated. The dependence is reliably described by exponential equation. This enables to assess degree of food assimilation by decapods at feeding by various foods within temperature interval 10−30°C in natural conditions and at industrial breeding. Food assimilation by decapods is quite high and in most cases exceeds 90%. This parameter is relatively stable at different temperature and does not depend on animals' age.

Results of the study of transboundary watercourses located between the Sozh and Desna rivers within the territory of the Chernigov, Gomel, and Bryansk regions are given in the paper. It has been found that the number of animal species and groups in benthos communities depended on the size of the river, and also on the area of thickets. In this case, the number of fish species correlated well with the number of macroinvertebrates species in benthos biotopes. It has been found that the state of watercourses of the studied region is favorable. However, the integral assessment of the ecological state of the rivers carried out following the principles of the Water Framework Directive of the European Community has shown that none river can be recommended as the model one for determining "reference" values in terms of biological and hydrochemical descriptors.

Seasonal dynamics of phytoplankton quantitative parameters in small rivers of the Rivne region (Ukraine), located within areas with different type of anthropogenic load, was investigated. Relation between phytoplankton abundance and content of inorganic compounds of nitrogen and phosphorus was assessed. Positive relation was revealed between phytoplankton biomass and ratio N:P.

Papers deals with results of pathomorphological study of cladocerans, digestive gland of Unio tumidus (Mollusca, Bivalvia) and liver of roach Rutilus rutilus. The material was collected in lakes of the Bolshezemelskaya tundra, lakes of the Leningrad region, Rybinsk reservoir and the Gulf of Finland (Russia). All specimens of Unio tumidus, roach and most part of Cladocera specimens were in pathological state.

morphological variability
creods (development programs)
ontogenetic channels
Peculiarities of morphotype changes in Pseudorasbora parva, one of the most successful invaders of the Central and Eastern Europe, were analyzed. In P. parva several morpho-ecological groups were revealed, conditioned by different habitat conditions. At the level of plastic characteristics differences were noted in ontogenetic programs in lotic and lentic water bodies. Directivity of morphological changes is closely connected with peculiarities of swimming activity and confidently indicates process of successive adaptation of the invader to new habitat conditions. Two development programs were established − in the rivers − Psel, Ros', Danube, Dniester, Dnieper and Amur, and in the reservoirs − Kremenchug, Beliakove and Kleban-Byk. They were proposed to be named as "riverine" and "lanustrine" programs, which provide better adaptation to different habitat conditions.

Stress-response and detoxification systems of bivalve mollusk Unio tumidus specimens from reference site after impact of triclosan (500 ng/l), ibuprofen (250 ng/l) and estrone (100 ng/l) and specimens from the site, polluted by the waste water, were compared after the exposure during 14 days. Signs of oxidative stress and genotoxicity in specimens from the polluted site were detected. In all exposed groups of mollusks prooxidative changes occurred. Triclosan and estrone caused increase of lysosomal membranes permeability, and estrone provoked increase of oxyradicals formation. The signs of genotoxicity were not observed only under the action of ibuprofen. Impact of the considered compounds, which are common components of the municipal wastewater, even at nanomolar concentrations modulated physiological and biochemical responses of the mollusk.

Pseudorasbora parva
Data on the parasite fauna of Pseudorasbora parva occurring in native and non-native areas of distribution were generalized on the basis of original and literature data. Some species of parasites were introduced by P. parva into non-native water bodies. For the most part they included organisms with a simple life cycle without changes of host animal. On the whole, in the native area of distribution the parasite fauna of P. parva was represented mainly by aboriginal species with wide host specificity.
