Изучены видовое разнообразие, пространственная и трофическая структура макробентосных сообществ сублиторали и нижних горизонтов литорали в 5-ти лагунных экосистемах Кандалакшского залива Белого моря. Всего в исследованных экосистемах было обнаружено 52 вида бентосных беспозвоночных животных и 6 видов морских трав и водорослей. В сублиторали наибольшим видовым разнообразием, общей плотностью и биомассой макробентоса характеризуется наиболее открытая к морю лагуна, расположенная на выходе из кутовой области Кислой губы, а наименьшим - наиболее закрытая и заиленная лагуна Никольской губы, где преобладали солоноватоводные и морские эвригалинные виды. Промежуточное положение занимали лагуна Ермолинской губы, лагуна, расположенная рядом с Ершовским озером и лагуна на Зеленом мысу. В нижней литорали общие показатели структуры сообщества макробентоса (общая плотность, биомасса и в меньшей степени видовое разнообразие) в отличие от сублиторали увеличивались от менее зарегулированных и открытых экосистем к более закрытым системам. Исключением является лагуна Никольской губы, значительное заиление которой приводит к существенному уменьшению видового разнообразия и снижению общей плотности и биомассы сообщества макробентоса. The species diversity, spatial and trophic structure of macrobenthos communities in the sublittoral and lower littoral horizons in five lagoon ecosystems of the Kandalaksha Bay of the White Sea have been studied. In total, 52 species of benthic invertebrates and 6 species of sea grasses and algae were found in the studied ecosystems. In the sublittoral zone, the highest species diversity, total density and biomass of macrobenthos is characterized by the lagoon most open to the sea, located at the exit from the innermost area of Kislaya Bay. The lowest diversity is found in the most closed and silted lagoon of Nikolskaya Bay, where brackish water and marine euryhaline species predominated. The lagoon of the Ermolinskaya Bay, the lagoon located next to the Ershov Lake and the lagoon on Cape Verde hold an intermediate position. In the lower littoral zone, the general indicators of the structure of the macrobenthos community (total density, biomass, and, to a lesser extent, species diversity), in contrast to the sublittoral one, increased from less regulated and open ecosystems to more closed systems. An exception is the lagoon of Nikolskaya Bay, the significant siltation of which leads to a significant decrease in species diversity and a decrease in the total density and biomass of the macrobenthos community.

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.

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.
