ecotone
Various sections of contact hydrobiocenoses were investigated. It has been shown that the response of biotic communities can be modified under conditions of their interaction. A manifestation of edge effect in the transition zone depends on changes in the structure of individual communities. Thus, it is not always registered. It is essential to determine not only internal (or central) boundaries, but also external boundaries of hydrobiocenoses.

It has been found that mass development of Dreissena polymorpha was observed in the Kiev Reservoir only several years later after its construction in 1965. Dreissena bugensis belonging to typical invaders was registered in this water body six years later. With time D. polymorpha was partially displaced by D. bugensis, especially in deep-water biotopes. The main factors responsible for mass development of Dreissenidae (especially of D. bugensis) in the Kiev Reservoir include the similarity of its hydrochemical indices with those registered in the lower reservoirs of the Dnieper cascade, and also effective ecological and physiological adaptations of these mollusks.

The paper presents some population characteristics of roach Rutilus rutilus (L.) of the small river in the Kyiv Polissya region. The roach has small body size, low growth rate, precocious maturity, short life duration, and belongs to the stunted littoral ecomorph. The low growth rate, caused by the limited feeding spectrum and absence of mollusks, probably results in low morphological variability and lack of sexual dimorphism

Data on the species composition, numbers, and biomass of Trichoptera larvae in periphyton communities of the embankments of the tail waters of the Kaniv Hydroelectric Power Station are given in the paper. Regularities of changes in their numbers and biomass depending on the distance from the dam of the Kaniv Hydroelectric Power Station were studied in different seasons. Relationship was established between the growth rate of Trichoptera larvae and the distance from the dam.

cation biocide
The article deals with the antifouling resistance in the fresh water of the protective coatings based on the ship paint XC-413 containing 5% of hydrophobic cationic biocide 1,3-didodecylimidazolium tetra fluoroborate (DD1M-BF4). The biocidal additive was found to have high leaching resistance off the coating and improve its hydrophobicity. After 228 days exposure in the Dnipro River the fouling biomass was formed mainly by the Dreissena polymorpha (92.5%). The surface of DD1M-BF4-modified coatings showed more than twenty time reducing of total biomass comparatively to control substrates. The obtained results showed the considered cationic biocides to be promising antifouling additives for industrial stains, used for protection of the underwater construction and vessels.

Paper deals with results of investigations of intensity of hydrogen peroxide decomposition in the bottom sediments of water courses and water bodies of urbanized areas of Kyiv City. The total decomposition of hydrogen peroxide in the bottom sediments of the studied water bodies during the vegetative growing season varied from 0,024 to 0,838 mg H2O2/g·h It was established that H2O2 in the bottom sediments is decomposed owing to the enzymatic and chemical processes. The inhibition of the catalase activity in the bottom sediments in the sites of maximal contamination was revealed. The significant proportion of non-enzymatic H2O2 decomposition in the bottom sediments can be a pioneer toxicity test as well as a biomarker for urbanization and anthropogenic load.

Accumulation of heavy metals by aquatic macrophytes of various ecological groups was investigated. It has been shown that the degree of metal accumulation by macrophytes is indicative of the degree of anthropogenic load on aquatic ecosystems. It has been found that the highest coefficients of metal accumulation are observed in submerged macrophytes (Ceratophyllum demersum, Myriophyllum spicatum, and Potamogeton perfoliatus). Thus, these species can be used in the system of biomonitoring and phytoindication of the contamination of the aquatic environment by heavy metals. In terms of the degree of their accumulation in macrophytes, the studied metals can be arranged in the following order: Mn > Fe > Zn > Cu, Ni, Pb > Co > Cd

The article deals with the mechanisms of sensitivity and resistance of carp fish to the herbicides' impact depending on their chemical structure and properties in the experiments. The dependence of the stability of carp fish response to the stress factor in form of the short-term adaptation at the functional level was shown. The possibility of the long-term adaptation forming at the biochemical, tissular, organ levels in carp and crucian carp under the constant influence of herbicides is also considered. The possibilities of development of the fishes resistance to the toxicants impact by involving of the gene expression of their epigenome are predicted.

Ukrainian Polissya
The effect of 17 hydrochemical parameters on abundance of the freshwater mollusks and degree of trematode infestation in the water bodies of the Ukrainian Polissya was studied. Certain levels of oxygen content, suspended solids, total iron, chlorides, sulfates and phosphates content, total mineralization, transparency, COD and BOD affected the trematode species richness and infestation degree. Maximum species diversity of trematodes larvae was noted in the water bodies of β-mesosaprobic zone.
