Some indicators of phytoplankton, which are developed on the basis of morpho-functional research, were suggested as water quality indicators, which meet provisions the Water Framework Directive. The methods of calculation, "ecological sense", the advantages and disadvantages of the proposed indicators are considered. Their relation with reaction of the structural and functional organization of phytoplankton to changing environmental conditions is analyzed.

The dynamics of morphobiological characteristics of roach associated with putting of the Tashlyk HAPP into operation and elevation of the normal maximum operating level in the Oleksadrivsk reservoir to 16.0 m had been analyzed. The roach was shown to become larger and wider in connection with
an essential increase of the water surface area and change of hydrological regime.

The present publication is a continuation of a cycle of publications dealt with the study of the ecological state of the Southern Bug River. Results of the study of the peculiarities of plankton algae development in the lower section of the Southern Bug River are given in the paper. Relationship between qualitative (species richness and diversity) and quantitative (numbers and biomass)
characteristics of phytoplankton and the content of inorganic compounds of nitrogen and phosphorus in the water has been analyzed. The trophic level of the studied section of the river, and also the indices of contamination and river
ecosystem state, was determined.

Results of the study of the current state and dynamics of littoral zooplankton communities of the Kiev Reservoir are given in the paper. Modern tendencies of the formation of littoral zooplankton qualitative indices have been analyzed and compared with literature data. A total of three zooplankton species proved to be new to the fauna of Ukraine and ten species – to the Kiev Reservoir. Taxonomic and ecological spectra of zooplankton, and also its distribution over various biotopes, have been analyzed.

The main regularities of phytoplankton dynamics in a small reservoir, on the example of the Denishi Reservoir (the Teterev River), are given in the paper. Results of long-term studies of phytoplankton taxonomic composition, intensity of its development, and processes of production and decomposition are presented. The ecological state of the reservoir was assessed in terms of indicator algal species.

Results of the study of seasonal dynamics of the development of naked amoebas of the Teterev River (the town of Zhitomir) carried out in 2012–2013 are given in the paper. Relationship between the species diversity of naked amoebas and physical and chemical parameters of the river (temperature, dissolved oxygen concentration, and organic matter content) has been analyzed.

It has been found that Euglena gracilis proved to be tolerant to the influence of the concentrations of phenol carbonic acids, including gallic, caffeic, and benzoic acids, inhibiting growth processes in representatives of Cyanoprokaryota. These concentrations of phenol carbonic acids even stimulated the growth of the alga cultivated both on the mineral and on the organic cultural medium (with the addition of glucose). It is likely that the presence of Euglenophyta in the thickets of higher aquatic plants is conditioned
by their capability to consume organic matter, including biologically active substances, excreted by macrophytes.

The paper deals with effects of chlortetracycline on the fractional composition of carp plasma proteins. Chlortetracycline of concentration 1.1 mg/l had no effect, and 3.15 and 6.30 mg/l reduced content of proteins with molecular
mass of 340–450 kDa and more, and promoted appearance of additional protein with molecular mass 140–200 and 70–90 kDa.

contamination
According to the study of accumulation of pesticides in fish liver in the Desna River, lakes Volzhyn and Cherneche (in the territory of the Chernigiv region) these reservoirs can be considered as contaminated. An actual level of
pesticide contamination of these water bodies has a strong negative impact on the fish liver. Accumulation was more intensive in spring, especially in predatory
fish species (pike, pikeperch ruff, sabrefish). Among the pesticides glyphosate, imidacloprid, carbendazim, metribuzin and bentazon were the most essential. Detecting pesticides in fishes is a signal for updating the monitoring in order to prevent negative effects on the ecosystems.
