In the article data physical and chemical indexes of salt water in the aquatorium of the Odesa Bay in the last few years are presented in the dynamics. Researches were conducted in accordance with the subjects of research work of «Research of parameters of environment for maintenance of marine animals in the conditions of aquatorium of the Odesa Bay in interests of MNF of Armed forces of Ukraine» of the Scientific research center of Armed forces of Ukraine «State Oceanarium» and on the basis of the official figures given by the «Odessa regional laboratory center of state sanitary and epidemiological service of Ukraine». Examining possibility of maintenance of dolphins and sea lions in the conditions of aquatorium of the Odesa Bay, it is necessary to take into account that among the basic sources of contamination of this area of the Black Sea along the coastal channels of river waters of Dnepr and South Bug, there is domestic wastewater from stations of biological purification of water «Southern» and «Northern», thundershower flows of cities Odessa and Chernomorsk, of objects Odessa, South and Black Sea ports, dockyard «Ukraine» and other coastal objects. Also, as catalysts of negative influence on the ecosystem of the Black sea, the unfavorable weather factors of this area of coast can be considered, namely: high temperature of salt water in summer months, periodic high winds, possible formation of ice in a winter period of and other. The aim of the advanced study became the monitoring of separate areas of coast of the Odesa bay on the basic physical and chemical, and also bacteriological indexes of salt water and changes of weather terms during a year for determining the optimal location of maintenance of marine animals in open-air cages. It is set on results researches, that only seasonal maintenance of marine mammals in open-air cages in the aquatorium of the Odesa Bay (during 6–8 months of the year) can be applied, by reason of disparity of row of sanitary epidemiology indexes of salt water to the set rules and norms. One of variants of decision of this question, the combined type of maintenance of animals was offered, that consists in translation of them in the apartment of the covered pool with the natural cleared salt water on the periods of disparity of salt water to the basic sanitary epidemiology requirements or at formation of ice in an aquatorium in a winter period.

INTRODUCTION: Injuries caused by sea urchins are the most common caused by marine animals in humans in Brazil, with the black sea urchin (Echinometra lucunter) causing the most injuries to bathers. METHODS: This study observed 314 human wounds with emphasis on the early observation of clinical signs and symptoms and their implications on the recommended treatment. RESULTS: All the injuries were caused by black sea urchins and were observed in bathers. The lesions and the pain were associated with penetration of the spines; there was no early inflammation or pain without pressure on the wounded places. Complications arising from this kind on injury, including infections and foreign body granulomas, are associated with the permanence of the spines in the wounds. CONCLUSIONS: The study confirmed that this kind of injury is the most common accident caused by aquatic animals in Brazil. The main therapeutical recommendation is early removal of the spines to prevent late complications, such as infections and the formation of foreign body granulomas.

The anthropogenic transformation of soil physical properties of the transition stripe from the dry to the middle steppe in the Northwest of the Black Sea region is considered and analyzed on the basis of comparison of indicators characterizing the properties of the cultivable and subcultivable horizons. The signs of negative influence of agricultural use on the most important indices of physical properties of soils are investigated. Significant degradation of the physical properties of the arable horizons (in comparison with tillable and subcultivable horizons), as well as deterioration of the water resistance of the structure of the tillable horizons (compared to the arable) was revealed. The geographic regularities of agrogenic evolution of sodic and residual-sodic calcic chernozems and gypsic kastanozems are established.

<p>This <span>presentation</span> represents a case study that reviews research into the relationship between meiobenthos distribution and concentrations of hydrocarbon gases (HG), primarily methane, in the sediments of the northwestern part of the Black Sea, including gases released by mud volcanoes and gas seeps. Evidence forming the basis of this research comes from meiobenthos here represented by 29 species of benthic foraminifers, 7 species of ostracods, and 44 species of nematodes. The potential use of these meiobenthic organisms as indicators of gaseous hydrocarbons reservoirs existing under the seabed is evaluated according to two linked axes, namely the dual analysis of abiotic factors (physical and chemical parameters of the water column, gasmetrical, geochemical, lithological, and mineralogical properties of the sediments) and biotic characteristics (quantitative and taxonomic composition of foraminifers, nematodes, and ostracods). Studies of this kind have been directed toward developing interdisciplinary methods to improve the search for HG accumulations, especially methane, under the seabed. Development of such methods might have substantial socio-economic importance for the economy of Ukraine as well as that of other Black Sea countries, and such methods might also contribute to the sustainable development of Black Sea ecosystems.</p>

Predatory macroplankton of jellyfish species is an important component of the pelagic ecosystem. It is capable of mass development, and may influence pelagic communities. Surveillance monitoring of jellyfish populations can detect the seasonal and long-term trends of their variability and assess the role of jellyfish in the trophic structure of the pelagic zone. Monitoring of plankton community (jellyfish macroplankton) off the coastal of Crimea from the Cape Tarkhankut to the Kerch coast (including the Azov Sea) in winter period is presented. 22 comprehensive oceanographic stations from Cape Tarkhankut to the Kerch Strait and in Azov Sea at the depths of up to 100 m were made. We used a Bogorov — Russ plankton net (entrance area is 0.5 square meters) for collecting plankton in the upper 100-m water layer. Jellyfish were measured immediately, we used a standard method of measuring and calculated the mass of the individual instances by the formulas. The biomass is calculated as the product of the abundance and the average wet weight of organisms in the population. Abundance and biomass macroplankton were counted per square meter of water surface or per the volume of filtered water. The species composition of jellyfish macroplankton was represented by 1 species of jellyfish and 3 species of ctenophores. Aurelia aurita dominated in biomass (98 % of the total biomass of gelatinous macroplankton)  everywhere; Pleurobrachia and Aurelia dominated in abundance (67 and 25 % respectively). The share of both species of ctenophores-invaders did not exceed 8 %. The average relative abundance of jellyfish along the coast of Crimea was fluctuated between 9 and 43 %, comb jellies — from 32 to 77 %. Quantitative distribution of gelatinous macroplankton was non-uniform — from complete absence to 83.3 g·m-3 (average of 12.6 g·m-3). The highest biomass was registered in the area of Sevastopol and Eupatoria, the minimum — off the southern coast of Crimea. Jellyfish were noted at almost all stations. Their biomass reached a value of 18 g·m-3. Distribution of jellyfish is characterized by marked heterogeneity with higher values of abundance and biomass in the area of the southern coast of Crimea and lower — in the stations in the western part of the Black Sea. Aurelia was presented with large dome diameter of 21–220 mm (average diameter — 93 mm). The bulk of the population was accounted for last year’s individuals generation. Biomass of the ctenophore M. leidyi varied from 86 to 4788 mg·m-3 (average of 1595 mg·m-3). The structure of its population was represented by wide size range of animals — 10–65 mm, while the share of larger animals of 60–100 % was observed in the western and south-eastern parts of the Black Sea. On the southern coast of Crimea 45 % of population of ctenophore were animals of 15–25 mm. Biomass of the ctenophore B. ovata was within 34.8–1316.6 mg·m-3 (average of 371.4 mg·m-3). Its abundance varied within a small range, except the area of Feodosia stations, where the maximum value was observed (it was more than 1 g·m-3). B. ovata population consisted of individuals of 20–40 mm long, while it formed the basis of immature specimens of 20–30 mm (50–70 % of the total). In Kerch area their share has reached 100 %. There were hibernating animals of last year’s generation. The coldwater ctenophore Pleurobrachia pileus was present almost everywhere, with biomass from 0.1 to 6.0 mg·m-3. Maximum values of abundance were observed in Alushta region. The stations of Crimean southern coast were characterized by intermediate, relatively flat values. South-eastern and western parts of the Black Sea were marked by similar values of abundance and biomass. In all studied regions, the prevailing size group in the structure of P. pileus populations were individuals with a  diameter of 10 mm. In the deep-sea area of the southern part of Crimea population was represented in the larger size range, and the proportion of animals ranging in size from 11 to 20 mm was low (5 %). In general, “winter” composition, size structure and abundance of jellyfish off the coast of the Crimea are the same of indicators in the coastal waters of Sevastopol. But the results show the existence of certain differences in the structure and quantitative development of jellyfish macroplankton in southern and  western coasts of Crimea.

In this chapter, the authors point out the connection between some physical and chemical parameters of the Black Sea water under extreme air temperatures. In this context, the period from 2006 to 2012 was chosen as the study period, because it is characterized by very high values of air temperature, which significantly affect not only the quality of the Black Sea water in the superficial layer but also the marine ecosystem and life. Some quality parameters as water temperatures, oxygen regime or the degree of eutrophication have been collected and analyzed and they show noticeable variations relative to ambient air temperature changes, mainly if they are determined on the surface layer.

The article is devoted to the generalization of the existing information concerning dinoflagellates of the Crimea. A list of dinoflagellate species of continental waters of the peninsula and the Crimean coast (Black and Azov seas) of Ukraine was compiled. It is based on the analysis of literature and original data obtained in 1987, 1992-1993 and 2011 in the Black Sea. The list of dinoflagellata species of Crimea includes 196 species (206 infraspecific taxa) belonging to 64 genera, 36 families, 15 orders and 3 classes. Eighteen species have been recorded in the fresh and salt water bodies and mud volcanoes of the least studied continental part of Crimea; half of them were also found in marine waters. Dinoflagellates of the Azov coast of Crimea and the Kerch Strait are similar in number of species, but differ significantly in composition (26 and 31 species, respectively; only 13 (25%) of them are common). The greatest number of species of dinoflagellates found on the Black Sea coast of Crimea. It is almost half of all species known for the Black Sea (196 and 447, respectively). To compare the species richness of dinoflagellates from different regions of the Crimea, survey data covering all areas in a short period of time are of great importance. A total of 74 species of dinoflagellates belonging to 3 classes, 11 orders, 22 families and 30 genera were found off the coast of Crimea. The most species-rich genera are Protoperidinium Bergh (17), Dinophysis Ehrenb. (8), Gymnodinium F.Stein (7) and Prorocentrum Ehrenb. (6). Based on the analysis of original and literature data and the criterion of similarity of the species composition of Crimean dinoflagellates, it’s division into five algofloristic regions is proposed: the western Black Sea coast of Crimea (from Karkinitsky Bay to Cape Aya); southeastern (from Ayia to Takil), Kerch Strait, Azov coast of Crimea and land (which, in turn, is divided into steppe and mountainous Crimean regions). It is in compliance with the algofloristic zoning of Ukraine.

The article is devoted to basic environmental and legal issues to protect the aquatic environment of the Black Sea in Ukraine. The author analyzes the critical environmental situation of the Black Sea pollution with plastic and other hazardous chemical waste, which adversely affects the lives and health of people and marine animals. We study the legislative support of the Black Sea at both the national and international levels. Much attention in the article is paid to the environmental block of the International Association Agreement between Ukraine and the EU, which was concluded in 2014. This legal document provides a complete list of requirements that must be met by our state in the legal field for the successful reform of water relations at the national level. These include the development and adoption of the Marine Environmental Strategy of Ukraine, a new National Program for the Protection of the Black and Azov Seas, updated State Standards of Ukraine, which would unify the terminology by Directive 2008/56 / EU on the use and protection of water in Ukraine. This normative legal act obliges at the national and local levels to adopt appropriate programs that would ensure the protection of the seas, as well as to reform the national water management system of Ukraine. First of all, this article assumes towards improving the state mechanism keeping the state water cadastre as a component of the implementation of good governance of water resources of the country. The author in his work emphasizes the need for a single government agency to keep the state water cadastre, ensuring optimization of public administration in the field of relationships and reduce duplication of functions related institutions. This leading public body should be the State Service of Ukraine for Surveying, Mapping, and Cadastre. Secondly, the article examines the draft Law of Ukraine «On State Environmental Control» № 3091 of 19.02.2020, which changes the structure and functional responsibilities of state management of the water fund of Ukraine. According to the scientist, the final stage in the development of water relations in our country should be the adoption of a new Water Code of Ukraine, which would reflect and guarantee the basic principles of European water law.

In a review of military memoirs, I. G., Savchenko a brief description of the work, its relevance, reveals the controversial biography of the author of the memoirs, explains the importance of memories to the modern reader. The main events of memories takes place in the Kuban and black sea in 1920. The author of the memoir failed to disclose the difficult contradictions between the peasants of the black sea and Kuban Cossacks. Reveals position of a number of leaders polanskogo movement on relationships with General P. N. Wrangel and the Menshevik Georgia. Indicated the position of the leaders of the Kuban of the Bolsheviks in relation to military experts. Savchenko, in his memoirs touched on this little-known story of the civil war, how the relationship of red and green. Celebrated and complex relationship between the Kuban Rada and the General command of the Armed forces of South Russia. The book is a vivid description of the events of the era of the civil war in the Kuban and black sea coast. The author was able to objectively evaluate the changes that occurred in the camp of the red in three years of Civil war, including those associated with changes in the field of penal policy. However, in General, felt his negative attitude to the new government, the hope for her downfall in the next few years.
