ABSTRACT
A review of the literature shows that biochemical methods arecommon in hydrobiological investigations of marine and freshwater environments and serve as an alternative to labor- and time-consuming microscopic accounts of phytoplankton biomass. Photosynthetic pigments analyzed by means of spectrophotometric, fluorescent, or chromatographic methods are the most often used markers of biomass. Taking into account high pigment diversity in algae, the high-performance liquid chromatography seems to be the most perspective method for assessment of total biomass of algaecenoses and ofthe relative abundance ofrepresentatives oflarge taxonomic groups.
