Abstract
A systematic study of the interaction of hydrobiological, hydrochemical, hydrological, and hydrophysical processes that occur in the ecosystem of the Vistula Lagoon (VL) of the Baltic Sea has been carried out using mathematical modeling and taking into account the processes in the active layer of bottom sediments (BSs). The features of the dynamics of nitrogen and phosphorus compounds, the turnover time, and the components of the balance of compounds of biogenic elements in the VL ecosystem, as well as the degree of their temporal variability, have been analyzed. It is shown that the variability of nitrogen and phosphorus compounds in the aquatic environment increases in spring and autumn periods. This is due to an increase in river flow into the lagoon and an increase in the level of external biogenic load on the water area of the VL. Model calculations of matter fluxes allow us to state that the inputs of dissolved organic and suspended matter into the lagoon from external sources and the removal to the Baltic Sea are important processes that significantly affect their content in the VL ecosystem. It has been established that under strong winds the process of sedimentation of suspensions can be largely blocked, and the intensity of BS resuspension can increase significantly. An analysis of the main qualitative and quantitative features of the nature of the temporal dynamics of the DON and DOP turnover times, as well as the mineral compounds of nitrogen and phosphorus, indicates a close conjugation of the processes of transformation of dissolved organic and inorganic substances in the water of the VL. A quantitative assessment of the processes of consumption and excretion of compounds of biogenic elements by different groups of aquatic organisms has been performed, and the important role of heterotrophic bacterioplankton and protozoa in the processes of transformation of compounds of nutrients in the VL ecosystem has been shown. The model can be used for scenario modeling and analyzing possible changes in the VL ecosystem under changing climatic and anthropogenic conditions.

Abstract
Using scanning electron microscopy, 33 morphotypes of stomatocysts of Chrysophyceae are found in the plankton of the reservoirs, lakes, and rivers of the mountain–forest zone of the Southern Urals; 8 of them are noted in Russia for the first time, and 1 is described as new to science. The description of each morphotype is accompanied by a SEM micrography, geographical location, and environmental characteristics. Unornamented stomatocysts with a spherical form are predominant in abundance in plankton. Ornamented stomatocysts with a spherical form are predominant in diversity in plankton. The maximum diversity of stomatocysts is observed in spring and in autumn. The high diversity of stomatocysts indicates a significant diversity of golden algae in the Southern Ural region.

Abstract
The results of an experiment on the oral exposure of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) 118 into the zebrafish Danio rerio (Hamilton, 1822) (F0) with food at calculated doses of 5, 20, and 80 μg/individuals are presented. In the first generation F1, there is a decrease in survival rate and a shift in the sex ratio, predominantly towards females. In the second generation F2, the same effects are noted as in F1, but they are not as pronounced. It has been hypothesized that the effects seen in the F2 generation may be caused by epigenetic mechanisms, which are still poorly understood. It is possible that the feminization of animal populations and a decrease in their survival rate are very strong factors in reducing the populations of living organisms, including humans, especially near sites of distribution of PCBs. It is necessary to study epigenetic mechanisms in order to develop measures to eliminate and prevent problems with the biotic degradation and depopulation of fish exposed to PCBs in the sites that arise as a result of the improper disposal of electrical engineering waste containing PCBs.
摘要 本文介绍了斑马鱼 Danio rerio(Hamilton,1822 年)口服多氯联苯(PCB)118(F0)的实验结果,食物的计算剂量为 5、20 和 80 微克/个体。在第一代 F1 中,存活率下降,性别比例发生变化,主要偏向雌性。在第二代 F2 中,发现了与 F1 相同的影响,但并不明显。据推测,F2 代中出现的影响可能是由表观遗传机制造成的,但人们对这种机制还不太了解。动物种群的雌性化和存活率的下降可能是导致生物种群(包括人类)减少的重要因素,尤其是在多氯联苯的分布地点附近。有必要对表观遗传学机制进行研究,以便制定措施,消除和防止由于含有多氯联苯的电 气工程废物处置不当而造成的生物退化和鱼类接触多氯联苯后数量减少的问题。

Abstract
Materials determining the possible pathways of Arctic zone colonization by representatives of thermophilic ichthyofauna are presented. The previously proposed hypothesis that the fish of the thermophilic complex that lived in the White Sea basin during the Subboreal period (sterlet, blue bream, common rudd, white-eye bream, and asp) and were considered extinct during the subsequent cooling in the Subatlantic period, adapted to changed conditions, stayed in particular areas of their range, and became part of the modern ichthyofauna in limited numbers have been elaborated and confirmed. The possible pathways of spontaneous introduction of the Caspian thermophilic species, white-eye bream, and asp to the Northern Dvina basin are considered. Populations of rudd and blue bream, rare thermophilic species for the region, have been detected and studied in the lakes of the Kenozersky National Park. Rudd, a relict species of the Holocene thermal maximum, was previously recorded only in several floodplain lakes of the middle reaches of the Northern Dvina River. The Kenozero population of rudd is the first case of finding epresentatives of this species in the Onega River basin. Blue bream can be also considered a relict found in the territory of the region only in one lake system of the Kenozersky National Park and several small lakes of the Siysky State Nature Reserve.

Abstract
As a result of global warming, the average annual water temperature has significantly increased in the Upper Volga reservoirs. Warming and the subsequent deterioration of the oxygen regime has had a significant effect on most of the fish populations inhabiting temperate waters. This has led to changes in the population structure of many fish species. Phenomena such as the disappearance or a sharp decline in the abundance of cold-water species (European smelt, vendace, burbot, and pike) in the Rybinsk Reservoir coincide with the period of warming. The disappearance of European smelt in the Rybinsk Reservoir and the favorable temperature regime has contributed to the appearance and rapid increase in the abundance of a Caspian invader, the Black Sea sprat, which has occupied the empty niche of the European smelt and became the dominant species in the pelagic zone of the Upper Volga reservoirs. Warming has resulted in a decrease in the abundance and the growth rate of burbot and pike. Climate warming has had an indirect effect on many species through oxygen deficiency or the transformation of the forage base (ruff, zander, perch, and roach), which has also led to a decrease in abundance and the growth rate.

Abstract
The presence of a complex of biologically active steroid compounds (BASCs)—hydrocortisone, corticosterone, progesterone, testosterone, and estrogens (vertebrate hormones)—in invertebrate hydrobionts of different phylogenetic levels has been revealed in experiments. The features of the quantitative content of BASCs in different organs/tissues of hydrobionts and their changes at different stages of development are shown. The level of BASCs in organisms or their organs is largely due to their own steroidogenesis, but organisms can accumulate exogenous steroid compounds. The adaptive role of BASCs in some invertebrates in changing conditions of the aquatic environment has been found. The similarity of the concentration of steroid compounds in different groups of bionts leads to the idea of a certain “physiological constant” of this complex of compounds in all organisms.

Abstract
Study was conducted to determine the impact of current velocity on density and abundance of benthic macroinvertebrate fauna in an Indian Himalayan River, the Ramganga. The samples were collected at 8 different stations from headwater to mouth (S1 to S8) during October 2014 to March 2015. One-time intensive sampling (20 quadrates per station) was performed in the dry-period. The benthic macroinvertebrate samples were collected to all possible current velocities at each station from 7 cm to 55 cm depth. and they were categorized in to 5 categories of current velocity; extreme low (type I, 0–15 cm s–1), low (type II, 15–30 cm s–1), mild (type III, 30–45 cm s–1), moderate (type IV, 45–60 cm s–1) and high (type V, >60 cm s–1). The standard methods were used to collect invertebrate samples and identify at family level. The total mean density of invertebrate fauna decreased from type I (616 ind. × m–2) to type II (358.87 ind. × m–2), and increased to type III (925.25 ind. × m–2), but again decreased to type IV (539.37 ind. × m–2) and type V (85.25 ind. × m–2). The mild velocity (type III) was most important for providing maximum density and richness. The total density (ind. × m–2) between every two current velocity types was not found significantly different except current velocity type V-I. Total 34 taxa were observed among all the stations, maximum number (22) taxa were found in type III, while lowest number (8) in type IV. However, out of 34 taxa, Glossoscolecidae was most abundant in type I velocity, Simulidae in type II, Leptoceridae in type III and V, while Psephenidae in type IV. Similarly, PCA also suggested the characteristics taxa at each velocity type.

Abstract
The report provides new data on Vaucheria vipera Blum, one of the rarest collected marine species. In 2023, V. vipera was discovered in the littoral zone of the Unskaya Inlet of the White Sea. The record is considered first in Russia and the Arctic Ocean. The study of the morphology of specimens from the White Sea allowed to expand the morphological range of the species in terms of the maximum dimensions of oogonia, oospores, and antheridia. The work also pays attention to the basal septa that separate short branches bearing the gametangia. Based on the morphology of the gametangia, it is proposed to transfer this species to the section Woroninia.

Abstract
The current state of the concept of the health of aquatic ecosystems and the main methods and technologies (mainly instrumental) for its assessment are briefly considered. The data obtained during the study of the health of ecosystems of several recreational areas of the Black Sea, the eastern part of the Gulf of Finland, several channels of the Volga delta are considered. An operational assessment of the health of ecosystems was carried out using innovative biomonitoring technology by testing the health of adult bivalve mollusks living in them by the functional load method based on the analysis of their heart rate, measured using the BioArgus bioelectronic fiber-optic system. It has been established that the functional state of mollusks can serve as an indicator of excess pollution of coastal waters by objects that discharge insufficiently treated domestic wastewater from their local treatment facilities, including household wastewater. It is concluded that, taking into account the rather high rapidity and ease of use, this technology can be effectively used to solve the problems of screening studies and early diagnostics of the state of aquatic ecosystems as well as serve as an information basis for developing regionally oriented, science-based environmental management decisions. Recently, the BioArgus automated system was metrologically type-certified (Order of Rosstandart No. 2702 dated 10/27/2022 on the approval of types of measuring instruments). The latter opened up the legal right to use this measuring system in urban water supply and sanitation enterprises, as well as to develop various regional certified methods and technologies for assessing the ecological state (health) of aquatic ecosystems, based on the use of BioArgus systems as measuring instrument.
