The structure of phyto- and zooplankton was studied in the model ecosystem (the experimental pond) with an extremely high concentration of inorganic compounds of nitrogen (N-NH4+ − 60.0–862.9, N-NO2- − 0.62–9.88, and N-NO3- − 24.2–105.9 mg/L) in the aquatic environment. Phytoplankton was represented
by Chlorophyta, Bacillariophyta, Euglenophyta, and Cyanoprokaryota with a predominance of green algae, whereas zooplankton – by Rotatoria, Cladocera, and Copepoda with a predominance of Rotatoria and Cladocera. Phyto- and
zooplankton structure was characterized by a predominance of eurybionts, by a small number of dominant species, and by the biomass accounting for 0.1–5.7 and 0.001–6.4 g/m3, respectively. The maximal biomass was registered in representatives of green algae (Chlorella sp., Kirchneriella irregularis (Smith) Korshikov, and Ankistrodesmus fusiformis Corda), Rotatoria (Brachionus
rubens Ehrenberg), and Cladocera (Moina macrocopa Straus and Daphnia magna Straus).

Paper deals with data regarding aquatic communities of the poorly investigated part of the Ukrainian Carpathians – the White Cheremosh River, where the construction of cascade of small HPPs is planned. Recommendations are developed in order to minimize negative environmental impacts using the
International evaluation system ESIA, which serves as an effective mechanism of control over the construction and operation of small hydropower plants.

Dependence of the Rapana adaptive capacity on its size, age and sex was studied in experiment. Adaptive potential of the mollusks was established by their life duration in the waterless medium. Studies have confirmed the negative
relationship between adaptive abilities of mature Rapana specimens and their linear dimensions and weight. In addition, the dependence of adaptability on the sex of the mollusk was shown.

Connection between quantitative characteristics of phytoplankton and phosphorus content in small rivers of the Ternopil region was analyzed. Correlation between phosphorus content and phytoplankton biomass was found to be mainly positive; in certain cases correlation was negative, which can indicated anthropogenic load on hydroecosystems.

Spatial and seasonal distribution of heterotrophic and phosphate mobilizing bacteria was studied in the Odessa region of the northwestern part of the Black Sea in 2009–2012. Valid correlation was established between the numbers of
bacteria and the content of phosphorus compounds and water saturation by oxygen.

The influence of the invasive species Pistia stratiotes L. on submerged macrophytes was investigated. It has been found that the development of Vallisneria spiralis and Ceratophyllum demersum was inhibited, whereas that of
Elodea canadensis was stimulated by P. stratiotes at its plant cover of 50%. As a consequence, the content of photosynthetic pigments in V. spiralis decreased by
a factor of 2, whereas that in C. demersum – by a factor of 3. P. stratiotes is capable of inhibiting the development of plant species sensitive to light conditions, oxygen content, and pH.

Content of β-carotene and xanthophylls in the organism of gastropods (Lymnaea stagnalis, Planorbarius purpura) and bivalves (Unio pictorum,
Anodonta cygnea) was studied. The species specificity of these pigments content in organs (tissues) was revealed. Comparative analysis of total carotenoids content in gastropods in norm and under trematode infestation was carried out and peculiarities of their distribution in bivalves depending on sex were established. The regularities of carotenoid pigments distribution in mollusk
organisms depending on feeding type were determined.

Composition and content of phospholipids fractions in liver, white muscle, gills and brain of carp in state of active vital activity and under artificial carbon-dioxide hypobiosis were studied. The results obtained showed increase of total phospholipid content and redistribution of individual fractions, which indicate their possible participation in adaptation to artificial carbon-dioxide hypobiosis.

Ecological state of the lower reach of the Ingulets River was estimated by method of calculation of integrated index on the basis of monitoring over the years 2001–2014. Self- purification potential and capability of restoration in
time and space (along the river stream) of the aquatic ecosystem of the lower section of the Ingulets River was established.
