Aspects of reducing the resource potential of surface waters of the Murmansk region in the global climate change and the environment and their irrational use have been considered. Increase of aquatic environment toxicity, drastic restructuring of the structural and functional characteristics of aquatic communities, changes in trophic status of lakes, reducing the stability of freshwater ecosystems, increasing the risk of catastrophic degradation have been shown. Taking into account the regional peculiarities, some indicators of surface water quality in the Murmansk region have been proposed.

Article Synopsis
  • The Barents Sea region is experiencing changes due to warm Atlantic water influx, affecting the local ecosystem and necessitating studies on benthic communities for food web predictions.
  • An investigation into polychaete communities along the Kola Transect revealed 114 taxa, predominantly boreo-Arctic species, with significant variations in abundance and biomass across different regions.
  • Depth was found to be the main factor influencing species diversity, while salinity and temperature explained notable changes in abundance, highlighting the complex effects of warming on polychaete communities.

The contents of main classes of storage lipids (triacylglycerols, cholesterol esters, and waxes) in muscles and the liver of the beaked redfish Sebastes mentella were studied across the depth gradient and in different areas of the North Atlantic. Significant differences in storage lipid contents were observed between fish from different fishing horizons. The depth-dependent changes in lipids in fish tissues and organs were assumed to indicate that triacylglycerols (TAGs), cholesterol esters (CEs), and waxes are utilized as energy sources, in particular, to maintain the buoyancy during vertical migration.

Introduction: HIV-1 non-structural proteins are promising targets for vaccine development and for creating approaches to personalized medicine. HIV-1 sub-subtype A6 has become the dominating strain in Russia. However, the geographic, economic and demographic characteristics of the country can contribute to the formation of differences between A6 variants circulating in different regions.
