К 70-летию Мурманского морского биологического института veal the stocks and distribution of the laminaria and fucus algae and the regularities of adaptation and growth regulations in macrophytes at different stages of organization in high latitudes conditions; to analyze reproduction mechanisms of species-dominants, to develop technology of plantation growing of Laminaria saccharina in the Barents Sea, to determine mono- and polysaccharides contents in the commercial algae and to point out the ways for the rational exploitation of phytocenoses.

Zoo- benthos of the seas in the North-West sector of the Arctic: results of long-term investiga tions // Oceanological and biological investigations of the Russia Arctic and Southern Seas (to the 70th anniversary of the Murmansk Marine Biological Institute). - Apatity: Publ. KSC RAS, 2006. - P. 277-298. A short history of the MMBI benthos investigations from the end of the 1950s till nowadays is given. The major directions in the studies of the Arctic Seas bottom fauna, including faunistic analysis and experimental works are reflected. The most important results of fundamental works on the species diversity, biomass, structure of bottom bio- cenoses of the Barents, the Kara and the White Seas are presented. Practical recommen dation on the rational usage of the commercial and perspective for fishery bottom hydro- biontes are given. The important role of benthos as an indicator of environmental con tamination at the anthropogenic impact on the environment and biota is shown. Special attention is paid to the studies of biology and distribution of the red king crab. 111. - 6, references - 79. UDC 597.08 (268.4) Karamushko O.V.
