Males And Females

We studied age structure, growth and distribution of European flounder Platichthys flesus at the sea in Chupa Inlet (Kandalaksha Bay, the White Sea). Immature and mature fishes fed at shallows of Chupa Inlet and adjacent open sea area in June-August. Size-age and sex composition of fishes in catches are presented in the paper. Individuals of 17–27 cm length and 4–5 year age constituted the majority of catches (45%). On the whole, males numerically predominated over females in the samples. Analysis of sexual differences of growth has shown that females grew faster than males. The most intensive growth took place in July–August, according to the increments on the otoliths. Growth rate of the flounder from Chupa Inlet appeared to be similar to the growth rate of the flounder from other open shore sites of Kandalaksha Bay. We have compared also peculiarities of growth and age structure of flounder populations from Kandalaksha Bay to those from other bays of the White Sea. Significant differences of the growth rate were found between flounders from Kandalaksha, Onega, Dvina and Mezen' Bays. Both males and females from Onega Bay grew faster than other. Growth rate of fish decreased towards the north (Kandalaksha Bay) and the north-east (Mezen' Bay). The most slow-growing flounder inhabited shallows of Mezen' Bay. Statistical analysis has shown that age structure of flounder populations varied in different bays of the White Sea, and observed regional variations were characteristic for both males and females. Flounder population in Onega Bay was characterized by the dominance of the younger individuals compared to populations in other bays. The greatest mean age of flounder was registered in populations from the north-west (Kandalaksha Bay) and the north-east (Mezen' Bay) parts of the White Sea. Males and females in populations from Onega and Dvina Bays differed significantly in the mean age, and as a rule females were older. No age differences between sexes were found in flounder population of Mezen' Bay. We suppose that temperature conditions were among the main factors influencing regional differences in growth rate and age structure of the flounder populations in the White Sea.

European Flounder

Squamation of the European flounder Platichthys flesus is formed by the common cycloid scales and the bony plates. The number of the bony plates and their localization on the body vary considerably in the flounders from different parts of their range. Study of the variability of bony plates coverage in the European flounder are of importance for understanding structural diversity and for use of this character for morphological differentiation of the local populations. We compared the bony plates on the eye side of the body in the flounders from Chupa Inlet (Kandalaksha Bay) and from the delta of the North Dvina River (Dvina Bay). The localization and the number of the bony plates near the bases of dorsal, anal, pectoral fins and above/below of the lateral line were analyzed. Our results clearly showed that the compared samples can be characterized by certain phenotypes, differing by number and location of the bony plates on the eye side of the fish body. The individuals of one phenotype were found in Chupa Inlet only. Small amount of the bony plates on the body and the presence of relatively wide aggregation of the bony plates near the pectoral fin are the traits of this phenotype. Three phenotypes were distinguished among fishes from the North Dvina delta. The absence of the bone plates on the most part of the body is typical for the prevalent phenotype. Individuals of the second phenotype were similar to the flounder from Chupa Inlet. Large amount of the bony plates covering the whole eye side of the body is characteristic for the third phenotype. The obtained results complement the existing data on the variability of squamation of the White Sea flounders, and indicate the importance of this character in the study of the differences between local populations in this region.

Features of the species and spatial structure of macrobenthic sublittoral communities in a lagoon ecosystem on the Green Cape (the White Sea) were studied. 31 invertebrate species and 3 species of sea grasses and algae (Zostera marina, Cladophora sericea, and Fucus vesiculosus) were found in the sublittoral of the surveyed lagoon. The data on the species composition, diversity and spatial structure of macrobenthos communities indicate the predominance of littoral brackish-water and marine euryhaline macrobenthos species (Hydrobia ulvae, Tubificoides benedii, Chironomus salinarius, and Macoma balthica) in the coastal region of the lagoon, marine euryhaline littoral and sublittoral species (mainly polychaetes Heteromastus filiformis, Polydora ciliata, and Capitella capitata) in the central deeper region, and marine sublittoral less euryhaline species (Pontoporeia femorata, Anonyx nugans, Nereimyra punctata, Terebellides stroemi, Astarte montagui, Micronephthys minuta, and Atylus carinatus) at the exit from the lagoon. The ecosystem of the Green Cape lagoon belongs to lagoons significantly fenced off from the sea with depleted specific fauna (many littoral species) and largely influenced by carbon load and salinity. The reduced connection of the lagoon with the sea due to the continued rise of the White Sea coast (4 mm per year in this area) will contribute to a decrease in the species diversity and the predominance of few small eurytopic invertebrate species resistant to organic load, oxygen deficiency, and desalination.

The article discusses the results of complex geological, geophysical and geochemical studies of gas-saturated sediments within the Kandalaksha gulf, the White Sea. As a part of the marine study detailed seismoacoustic studies were conducted, resulting in the geometry of the seabed, the distribution of geological peculiarities of the sedimentary sequence, including the zones of focused unloading of hydrocarbon fluids. It is shown that assemblages of the «gas caps» are confined to the zones of maximal thickness of post-glacial sediments. The composition of the organic matter in the sediments and the gas phase has been studied in detail.

The Family

The article outlines the continuity of the family schools of epic storytellers in the North; the featured one is the Kryukov dynasty from the Winter Coast of the White Sea. The epic repertoire of an individual storyteller from the three generations of the Kryukov family is analyzed in the context of local and general Russian traditions. Possible ties of succession and differences between them are established. The author suggests that it is too early to postulate the existence of the family schools in Zimnyaya Zolotitsa with the same certainty as in the case of the Chuprovs on the Pizhma.
