Океанологические и биологические исследования арктических и южных морей России : к 70-летию Мурманского морского биологического института / Рос. акад. наук, Кол. науч. центр, Мурм. мор. биол. ин-т ; [редкол.: Г. Г. Матишов (отв. ред.) и др.]. - Апатиты : КНЦ РАН, 2006.

К 70-летию Мурманского морского биологического института population development in mass common birds species through the change of forage base limits the activity of fish-catching fleet, understanding of the necessity of birds observa tions in the off-sea areas increased. The major international and native methods and ways of similar observations are analyzed, the more important results of investigations ob tained while using airplane laboratory are demonstrated. The major tasks of the marine ornithology at the modem stage of hydrocarbons resources in the Arctic Seas exploration are formulated. 111. - 2, references - 49.

Current state of the Azov Sea and coastal areas avifauna // Oceanological and biological investigations of the Russia Arctic and Southern Seas (to the 70thanniversary of the Murmansk Marine Biological Institute). - Apatity: Publ. KSC RAS, 2006. - P. 369-379. On the results of ornithological expedition works carried out by Murmansk Marine Biological Institute KSC RAS in the Azov Sea and near Azov areas the data on the modem state of avifauna are presented, the problems of distribution, location, abundance and ecology of separate species are discussed. Ecology of European cormorant which plays an important role in the marine ecosystem is described in details. The history of settling of the Don River delta with cormorant and its interrelations with other colonial near aquatic birds species like little egret, common heron, night heron are analyzed. Seasonal aspects of bird communities diversity dynamics are investigated. 111.- 2, references - 16. UDC 576.8.591.69 (268.45) Marasaev S.F., Marasaeva E.F.

KSC RAS, 2006. - P. 380-386. The stages of foundation of parasithological science in Murman and the contribu tion ofMMBI scientists into this sphere is shown. The major investigations directions are presented. Complexity of the investigations carried out united under the general ecological approach to the problems under the investigations is especially noted. The inseparable con nection of hydrobioligical and parasithological investigations is stressed. References - 18. UDC 551.582.3 (268.45):551.46 (084.4) Matishov G.G., Zuev A.N., Golubev V.A.
