Assessment of distribution and migration ways of heavy metals in the Karkinitsky Bay ecosystem
In 1989-1993, YugNIRO carried out investigations of the impact of undersea exploratory drilling on the ecosystem of Karkinit Bay, Crimea (Ukraine) and the adjacent shelf areas of the north-western Black Sea. Karkinit Bay and adjacent shelf zone of the Black Sea are home for wintering aggregations of...

In 1989-1993, YugNIRO carried out investigations of the impact of undersea exploratory drilling on the ecosystem of Karkinit Bay, Crimea (Ukraine) and the adjacent shelf areas of the north-western Black Sea. Karkinit Bay and adjacent shelf zone of the Black Sea are home for wintering aggregations of sturgeons, feeding area for juvenile and adult mullets, a permanent residence for juvenile turbot, whiting, sprat. In the southern part of Karkinit Bay dense (up to 1100 g/m super(2)) mussel beds still exist, which has age composition characteristic for a virgin population.
